Please help! My puppy is sick?

My doberman puppy, Lexi, is about four months old. She has been throwing up for the last two days... then last night, she woke me up dry heaving and I tried to feed her, but she wouldn't eat. This is very strange since Lexi would eat all day everyday if I let her. I saw one of her teeth fall out, too. She won't even get out of the house now. Her tummy has been rumbling non-stop. Can anyone help me? What should I do?

Please help! My puppy is sick?
Definitely take her to vet right away! She may have swallowed something poisonous, or she may have a parasite or worm. Our puppy swallowed a cigarette, and the same thing happened. She was throwing up, then dry heaving when there was nothing left to throw up. We called the vet, and he said to just monitor her over the next day. But in your case, this has been going on for two days, so you need to take her in!





Also, make sure that she stays hydrated. Keep offering her water, and if she's not drinking water or keeping it down, feed her ice chips.





As for the tooth falling out, it's normal at that age. She's teething, and I'm sure it has nothing to do with the sickness.





Good luck. Poor Lexi. I hope she feels better soon.

Reply:Get her to the vet - what are you waiting for???
Reply:This could be a number of things. You should take her to the Vet. Maybe she ate something she shouldn't have or maybe she has an illness. Only a Vet will be able to help.
Reply:You need to get her to a vet today.
Reply:You need to get her to a vet quick. Being four months old her teeth are going to start falling out but vomiting can be a sign of serious digestive problems.
Reply:You need to call your vet to get a proper answer to this. My first concern would be the possibility of Parvo. Just because a puppy has gotten a booster does not mean they can never get it... only reduces the risk of it. I had a puppy that did get it and was fully vaccinated. You may not be dealing with anything too serious, but I would be calling the vet to rule out the possiblity of Parvo, which can be deadly if left untreated. One other possible sign of Parvo is the dog/puppy to be lethargic and not eating or drinking.
Reply:You need to get her to a vet right away, it definately sounds like she could have Parvo. This is a very serious disease for pups and could ultimately kill them if not treated right away.
Reply:Vet visit and now.


This could be many things and your are going to need to have the dog seen at the vets to find out what. They are going to want to run tests to find out what is making your dog sick.


As for the tooth she may just be loosing her baby teeth.
Reply:Take her to the Vet very soon!!!!
Reply:Get her to the vet today! But if it is Parvo, as some people seem to think it is, 1) it is not a death sentence, and 2) a dog that recovers from Parvo can lead a long life afterward and can be a very pet. My sister had a German shepherd that had Parvo as a pup and was the most loving animal I think I've ever been around.
Reply:She probably has a fatal disease. I can't think of the name of it, but it is usually fatal. Maybe she should be put to sleep before she suffers any more. I think the word is Parvo.
Reply:Do you really need to ask what you should do? Get off Y.A. and get her to a vet!!!
Reply:Why are you wasting time here? Get your dog to the vet!
Reply:My advice is you go to the vet. That's the best.I think it should cure your dog.
Reply:Take your pup to the vet. She could have ate or swallowed something that you are unaware of. Don't sit back and wait for it to pass. Dogs throw up when something isn't quite right. If you'd take your child to the doctor when they are sick throwing up for two days, why wouldn't you take your pup? You are the only one she can count on at this point to take care of her and make sure she is okay
