He is eleven weeks old and has had all of his puppy shots. He threw up last night and again this morning. He still has his energy-is running around with our other dog. What should i do? I'm freaking-We had a dog a few years ago who threw up a lot and ended up dying.

Call your vet. He or she will give you advice about what is best to do.

if you are so concerned then you should take him to the vet. If you just got him he should be checked out by the vet as well. My dog used to throw up a lot as a puppy but she was fine. If he doesnt seem like he is keeping anything down you should take him in but if it's just 2 times he's vomitted and he's keeping down some food and water and his energy level is good you can watch him a little longer.

If it were me, I would just call the vet. and tell him/her what is going on, especially since the puppy is not acting sick, and has plenty of energy and is eating and drinking!! If the puppy still does this in the next day or so, the puppy will need to be checked out!! Good Luck, I hope your puppy just got his belly too full and started playing to much, before it digested, that would be the best case scenario!!!!!

I have two dogs if they would get sick I would take them to the vet.It's a big responsibility when you get a puppy. If the puppy has parvo and never had it's vaccination for parvo and you have other dogs it will make the other dogs sick if they never had the vacccinations. Dogs and puppies are a part of your family the first day that you bring it home. I would take the puppy to the vet to get it checked to see what is wrong.If you don't have the money some vets understand and make it easier for you to make payments.

I would say as long as he has energy, you should be fine. Keep an eye on how much he gets to eat because puppies will eat until they get sick and then all the playing around and bouncing around is a great mix for vomiting. Keep and eye out for the energy level and for diarrhea, even though he has had his shots he can still get parvo.

I would take the pup to the vet. It may be something as simple as the food not agreeing with him but it could be something worse. Puppies get ill and dehydrate quickly. I would at least call my vet and put him on alert that there might be a problem.

The best thing to do would be to call your vet and let them know your puppy's symptoms. If they think there is a need for concern, they will tell you to bring him in. Considering he is so young, maybe he just ate too much and it upset his stomach. He could have also ate something that he shouldn't and is just getting it out of his system. Calling the vet would be your best bet just in case it could be serious.

At 11 weeks, he still hasn't finished all his puppy shots. There is at least one more series at 16 weeks, including rabies. So his immunity is still not complete. Vet - better safe than sorry.

At least call your vet and get his recommendation.
The danger is that a puppy dehydrates very easily when he vomits or has diarrhea.
Think over what he might have eaten - but call your vet.

I would call the vet and ask them. More than likely, they will want to see the puppy but it's quite possible that they will ask you just to watch the puppy and let them know asap if anything changes. (puppy's behavior)

It's a good idea. Puppies are notorious for eating the wrong things, which could cause problems in their little digestive systems.
