Please go to the vet as vomiting "black watery stuff" is not a sign of anything normal. Your dog may be very ill.

Get that pup to a vet, then read a book or two. The black watery stuff very well could be blood! Dewormer is a medication like any other that needs to be used appropriately. A fecal sample examined by a vet will determine what type of parasites, if any, your pup has and the appropriate medication can then be prescribed. Can't stress enough - get your puppy to a vet!
I am not sure anyone was trying to be mean, I think they are just concerned, like me. I am sure your mom wouldn't heistiate to get one of you kids to the Dr. if you were throwing up black watery stuff, and I am sure she wouldn't give you medications without proper knowledge and understanding. Good for making that appointment, please keep it.

I just took my cat to the vet about a month ago for the whole rubbing his butt in the ground, they told me that one of the reasons animals do this is because of "glands" around the butt that can become inflammed after going to the bathroom, kinda like hemmroids. So if youve been giving him medicine and no worms have come up, that might be all that it is. Watch his weight too, if he doesnt gain weight very good that is a sign of worms as well. The black watery stuff take her to the vet

Some of the common signs of worm infections are listed below, but these may also be symptoms of other illnesses. When ever your pet is acting ill, we always recommend an examination of your pet and an analysis of a fecal sample.
A change in your dog's appetite, a distended abdomen in puppies, coughing of hiccupping resulting from the coughing up of worm larvae emerging from the lungs. Weight loss, weakness, a dull coat, vomiting or diarrhea observing the worms-either round worm, which looks like spaghetti, or tapeworm segments that look like grains of rice in the stool or on the fur.
Exercise intolerance, due to heartworm.

sounds like you need to get your dog to the vet for a proper diagnosis. Over the counter dewormers do not take care of ALL the intestinal parasites a dog can have. You need a vet to identify the intestinal parasites your dog has(if any). Scooting on the carpet can also be a sign of the anal glands becoming impacted. A vet will need to express them.

OMGSH! why in the world did you get a puppy if you knew nothing about it? Im 13 and I know just as much as a veterinarian would. YOU CAN NOT GIVE A 6 MONTH OLD PUPPY WORM MEDICINE THAT OFTEN! only once every 2 to 3 weeks. Read some books but most importantly..Take that puppy to the vet before you kill it!

Your dog is very sick, if she's vomiting, black watery liquid. Get her to a vet ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you should not be giving her worm medicine every week or every day whichever, it should be according to the package directions.

if you don't know what is going on, take her to the vet. If you can't take her to the vet, then don't have the puppy.
