My young puppy is still vomiting after vet visit. Will he recover?

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Coco. Vomiting and diarrhea have many causes including intestinal worms, inflammation, infection, dietary problems (including dietary indiscretion or eating things pets are not supposed to eat, food sensitivities/allergies), ingestion of foreign bodies or exposure to toxins, bacterial overgrowth in the gut, problems in the stomach, intestines, or even problems outside of the intestinal tract/stomach including pancreatitis, kidney/liver problems, metabolic disease (diabetes,etc), endocrine diseases (thyroid or other hormone problems), etc. Usually, in puppies, we worry about intestinal parasites, infection (parvo/coronavirus), foreign body ingestion or dietary indiscretion. A thorough history and physical exam with resultant diagnostics such as fecal tests, blood tests, imaging studies such as x-rays/ultrasound can be done to try to determine what is going on. Puppies should be dewormed starting at 2 weeks of age and then every 2-3 weeks. This should be done multiple times and should continue for 3-4 times after weaning. When puppies nurse, they continue to get infected with intestinal parasites from their mother. Good luck

Since Cooper is a young puppy and according to this he keeps vomiting so it is not a single episode in addition he is not eating, In this case I would be more concern then an adult dog as young animals are more prone to dehydration. I would recommend to contact your vet to examine cooper and start supportive treatment to help stop the vomiting sooner then later.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can be seen with conditions such as gastroenteritis, parasites, among other possibilities. This may be a transient occurrence. However, if this continues I recommend you have your evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!

I am sorry to hear about Scotch! If your vet recommended a certain food or feeding schedule I would continue with their recommendations as long as Scotch isn't vomiting. If they gave no recommendations you can try feeding very small meals of bland diet such as cooked white rice and boiled chicken breast in very small amounts every few hours.

Hello, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The licking of other dogs' private parts is a gross habit, but probably not the cause of the vomiting. Causes of vomiting in a puppy can include dietary intolerance or indiscretion, food allergy, intestinal parasites, GI blockage, gastroenteritis, bacterial or viral infection (including parvo virus if not completely vaccinated), among a few others. If the vomiting lasts longer than 12-24 hours, or if Prince develops other symptoms, such as diarrhea, lethargy, abdominal pain, etc he should see a vet as soon as possible. I would only offer small meals of Prince's normal puppy food, or small pieces of boiled chicken breast in this period. If he isn't interested in food, it may be a sign that he is very nauseous and he should get checked out by a vet. I hope he starts feeling better soon!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am sorry to hear Shiro isn't feeling well. Regardless of eating the sock or not, he is still vomiting, so I would recommend taking him to a vet right away. He is young and a lot of vomiting can cause dehydration that puppies cannot recover from on their own. The vet may want to check for intestinal parasites and parvo virus (common causes of vomiting in puppies) and may also take an x-ray to look for a foreign object in the intestinal tract. If no cause for vomiting is found, the doctor can treat the vomiting and replace the fluids Shiro has lost so he doesn't get sicker. If a cause for the vomiting is found, the doctor will discuss the next best steps for Shiro. Good luck and kisses to Shiro!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I’m sorry to hear Ralph isn’t feeling well. I recommend taking him to a vet right away. Puppies that age are at risk for dehydrating when they vomit and have loose stools. I would be concerned Ralph could have parvovirus or intestinal parasites. A vet can test him for both and treat as necessary. If he’s dehydrated he will need IV fluids. Also medications to stop the vomiting. Good luck and kisses to Ralph!
