Hello there! It sounds like you're dealing with a bit of a mystery with your young pup. At 10 months old, your mixed-breed dog is still quite young and can experience a variety of issues as they grow. Common potential causes for an illness could include dietary indiscretions (like getting into something they shouldn’t have), infections, parasites, or even stress from changes in their environment, which is not uncommon in rescues.
For at-home care, ensure that your pup is staying hydrated, especially if they're vomiting or experiencing diarrhea. Offer them bland food like boiled chicken and rice in small amounts. This gentle diet can help soothe any digestive upset. Keep an eye on their behavior and energy levels—if they're more lethargic than usual, that can be a sign they're not feeling well.
Watch for warning signs such as persistent vomiting or diarrhea, refusing to eat or drink, a bloated belly, difficulty breathing, or any signs of pain like whining or excessive drooling. These could indicate a more serious issue that needs prompt attention.
Given that your pup is not feeling their best and since it can be challenging to pinpoint the cause without a thorough examination, booking a video consult with Dial A Vet could be a great next step. We can help guide you further based on more specific symptoms and advise if an in-person visit is necessary. Let's get your furry friend back to feeling their best!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
