Help! My 6 month old puppy won't eat drink and is very lethargic. i can't figure out what is wrong with him. We live in the country and my cat catches rabbits and squirrel (bird) all the time and sometime the dog eats them. What could be wrong with him?
I have a 4 month old Jack-A-Bee named Tootsie. Last night, she got out of bed. She got into the kitchen and ate some leftover tacos (meat, sauce, cheese, Doritos). When I got home from work today she had vomited a lot, which I expected she would since she has never had table scraps. I cleaned her up and took her out where she refused to have a bowel movement (she has yet to do this since this morning and usually has 5-6 a day). She normally pees small amounts about every 1-2 hours. She just squatted on the floor and peed A LOT, I would say 300-400ml. Then as I was cleaning this up, she did the same thing with the same amount of urine (this was within 10 minutes). She always drinks a lot of water and eats small, frequent meals throughout the day. She is drinking about the same amount, but eating a little less than normal for her. She has had her first round of shots, and is supposed to get the 2nd round Saturday. Should I seek medical attention for her?
My dog is a 1 year old pit bull that ate part of a dead deer on Friday. He was sick and throwing up on Saturday. Toaday on Sunday, he has only drank some water and throws some of that up too. He is laying around all day and he usually wants to play and romp around. Can I give him anything like, Tums, Pepto Bismol, etc...?
Thanks for you help...

Hello Dr. Spohn, my husband and I took our two pitbull puppies to you a couple of weeks ago. You gave them some shots and heartworm preventative. They are the ones with the cropped ears. Anyways, they both have had a tinge of diarrhea. The male has had a little bit of blood in his. I am wondering if they ate something they shouldn't have since it has been so windy and garbage has been blowing in the yard? We actually found a clothing tag in the boys poop. They are still very active. We have not changed their food or anything. My husband was wondering if there is anything we could do for them at home or if it is serious enough to be looked at by you.

Hello Dr. Spohn, you have seen my dog Biggie at the Taylor Ranch Vet Clinic. I usually feed him 1/4 cup twice a day. I put hot water and carrots in his morning food and then he just eats dry in the afternoon. Lately, he has had no desire to eat in the afternoon. Sometimes he will eat if I handfeed him or mix hot water in with it. I am just wondering if I am spoiling him. If he doesn't eat, should I just let him skip that meal and not worry about it? Sometimes if he doesn't eat, he will throwup yellow. I am just thinking that he is hot.When I put his dinner down, he hides under the bed. He is still very active and drinking water and eating his breakfast. By the way, he is a Shih Tzu and he is 4 years old.
Thank You!
