Answer 1

Take him to the emergency vet - they are open 24/7, 365

Answer 2

Could be anything. I would certainly go to the vet FIRST thing Monday AM.

MANY, MANY dog treats will cause this: GREENIES is notorious for it, raw hides, pig ears-anything that you think wouldn't be easily digested. If your pup ingested part of a dog toy.....this kind of vomit can occur if something isn't digested.

Your dog doesn't need to get into the habit of NOT drinking H2O....he needs it DAILY.

Three days without water is too long.

If he isn't alert, has no appetite, runny stool or seems lethargic-go to an emergency vet.

I'm assuming your pup is fully vaccinated-and has been vaccinated for awhile as it takes a while for the full effect of the vaccines to occur.

Iceblocks aren't really a good idea---ask your vet about that.

If your dog has had vaccinations for some time-PARVO is unlikely.

BUT IF IT WERE ME, I WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE VET YESTERDAY.....at least.

Seeing that is is just a baby, I would still take it to the vet. Being without water for that length of time to kill any organism, including that of a ten month old canine. Also see if there are any vets that are willing to set-up a payment plan. Being that they are in the business of saving lives, I would think that they would be willing to "over-look" bulk -payment. They do in this county where I live. It's just the most educated move that one can do in either given position. Explain to them that you have puppy in dire condition of needing treatment and see what their response is. Hope I've helped.

Answer 4

Hi there, my dog had the same thing during the week end. It turned out to be gastro. I am not sure if your dog has got gastro as well but you should bring him to the vet immediately as he is dehydrated, and the more he is dehydrated the more he won't want to drink water - it is a vicious circle. Good luck!

Answer 5

If it's been DAYS, why wasn't he at the vet YESTERDAY? Or the day before?

Call your vet AT HOME. In an emergency situation, they WILL come take care of you. Vets don't like to see dogs die, and understand that dogs get sick regardless of time or day.

This is SERIOUS. It can't wait any longer. He could already be at death's door. This should have been taken care of when it started- not DAYS later.

Answer 6

Sounds like it could be parvo. Keep him hydrated. That is extremely important, even if you have to use a dropper with water. Get him to the vet as soon as possible.

Answer 7

find the nearest vet emergency clinic and take him there or call your vet and if they don't answer maybe they have an answering maching with a message that says a phone number of someone to call in case of an emergency also look on your vet's website if they have one for emergency situations information

Answer 8

you need to call an emergency vet...
a dog vomiting all day and no water for 3 days is VERY dangerous!
your dog is at high risk for severe dehydration which can quickly lead to death.

Answer 9

Keep him cool but not cold so as to minimise dehydration. Vet a s a p - think may have swallowed something eh.

Answer 10

Then you needed to go to the vet a few hours ago. Please get to an emergency vet right away. Free advice on the Internet is not what your dog needs.
