When my puppy was sick I found that the best thing to do was to make sure he had plenty of water. If you think it may be the food that is causing the problem (and it usually is because they need to eat light) try hard-boiling an egg and cooking some rice. THROW AWAY THE YOLK, use only the whites and add the rice. Feed this to him and see if he can keep it down. Most important, though, with him being a pup is that he does NOT get dehydrated. Get him to drink water.
This was advice given to me from a vet.
EDIT: The yolk is too heavy in iron content and can cause the stomach upset to get worse. RAW EGGS carry salmonella, DO NOT FEED YOUR PUP RAW EGGS!!!

Well first of all did the vet tell you what he have or why he was only giving him antibiotics? if you're puppy does not want to eat then at least make sure he drinks water if he does not want to then try giving it to him with a dropper just make sure he does get water and also keep him away from the other puppy sometimes due to their condition some puppies take longer to get better than other just don't freak out and if you have to go somewhere else for a vet then go ahead just make sure he gets better

Need to know how old he is and his weight. Some puppies are too small or young to give any human medicines to. If he is larger or older give him some baby doses from the anti-emetic selections at your pharmacy.
On Monday take him back to the vet and have him screened for parasites which can make many puppies very sick.

Take him to a 24 hour emergency vet, he can die. Make sure he is drinking lots of water, feed him out of your hand and give him water from your hand anything to make him drink he will get dehydrated and die, He is throwing up his antibiotics, keep him away from the other puppy and wash your hands after you touch him. I hope he will survive, good luck, I gave my dog rice and chicken when he was sick and he kepted that down and lived, but Im no vet.

Poor baby!
Did the vet give you any instructions? Now might be a good time to review them.
You'll want to isolate the sick puppy from the well one, and make sure to wash your hands after you handle him. And check the phone book for an emergency clinic: Your puppy is in danger of dehydration.
Good luck!

You need to call your vet. That happened to me once and the vet had me give mine pepcid. But you have to call and find out the right dose for his weight your dog can die if given the wrong dose. Hydration is very important try to give him small amounts of pedialyte. Also this sounds weird but give him cottage cheese to eat because his normal food will prob just make him sick. Good luck

If he is still vomiting, not drinking water and not peeing, he is dehydrated and that is very dangerous. (The person who told you to give it an enema is an idiot). I hope you did not do it.
If he now dehydrated and showing these signs and symptoms you have to take him to a vet, even if you have to drive somewhere.
If he is still drinking and peeing you may be able to wait until Monday and hopefully it will stop.
The puppy is relying on you to do what is best for him. He can't do it for himself.

If he is vomiting constantly and has diarrhea, take him to the vet and make sure it is not Parvo. If he is just throwing up after he eats, maybe try a different type of food. Keep him hydrated. Water.

i am having the same problem with my dog and the vet sent her antibiotics but he did say to keep her on a low fat diet for a while and suggested that for her food to boil chicken with no seasoning whatsoever or boiling rice and giving her that as her meal for a few days..i hope that your dog feels better
