Hey guys I just got a beautiful 9 week old red and rust puppy. He flew from texas to NC yesterday so I kind of figured he wouldnt eat much. But today he keeps trowing up and will not eat or drink any water. He hasnt had anything to eat or drink since before the flight. I was wondering if there was any advice or is this normal since he just went through a big change and will pass.
Puppies can get dehydrated very quickly, especially if they are throwing up, and can go downhill relatively fast. I would definitely be getting him in to your vet for a checkup. Was there anything in his crate he could have been eating, i.e., blanket, stuffy, etc.?
When I took Dexter in for vomiting/diarrhea, they kept him overnite for observation and kept an IV in him to rehydrate him, as well as stomach meds to treat his gastroenteritis.
I would also definitely inform your breeder about his health issues. If it's something that is contagious, it would be important for your breeder to know since the litter mates would have been exposed. Hopefully you have a health guarantee too!
Yes, please keep everyone posted on your new baby boy. Had he thrown up in his crate during the transport? How long was the flight? Did he seem overly anxious when you took him out of his crate? Hugs to both of you. I'm sure this is scary for you.
