My puppy is sick =[
Shes had her prvo. shot, so its not that. Shes been puking since saturday. We thought bc of the heat and she was outside bc we were having a party. But shes still puking. She ate yesterday, some hot dog. And her puke was like hard, you know like regular dog puke. And today its watery, Meaning she doesnt have anything in her tummy. Anyone have an idea of whats wrong?.. Dont say go to a vet, bc we dont have the money right now.. and I just want an idea of what might be wrong.. Thanks

you can also give dogs pepcid ac, which sometimes helps if it's just an upset tummy. I would call the doc first just in case. check the dosage for your dog though- can look on internet or ask vet.

As for her puking, do NOT give her hot dogs! Just let her rest for a day. Don't feed her anything and just put out a bowl of water. After that, feed her stuff that will go easy on her stomach that is also good for dogs like apples [cut into small pieces or pureed [sp?]] or carroes [prepared in the same manner as apples. shredded, not cut into small pieces, though]
What you give your dog is extremely importnat. Your puppy needs to eat dogs for PUPPIES. Not for adults or seniors or what not. Buy Blue products or USDA certified organic dog foods. Do not give her meat or poultry or fish! If you have to give her meat or poultry, boil it to cook it in PLAIN water. No salt, No flavoring. BOiL it and shred it into small pieces. Don't over feed your dog. Do not under any circumstances give your dog onions either. It will kill them. Don't give them cheese, grapes, and anything like that. Only fresh veggies and fruits [minus onions and grapes and relatives of grapes. Note that not all fruits and veggies are okay for dogs. Before you give your dog something, check it up online to see if it's okay] But seriously, do noy igve her hot dogs, greasy stuff, etc. Dogs are not humans and needs to eat healthy, fresh foods only!

I know you dont have money, but you have to take your dog if you love her. Hurry!, before it is too late. [ ASAPcamille's advice column | Ask ASAPcamille A Question ]
