Thanks for reaching out—puppy tummy troubles can be quite concerning! Puppies are curious and often put just about anything in their mouths, which can sometimes lead to stomach upset. Common causes include dietary indiscretion (eating something they shouldn’t have, such as garbage or a non-food item), a sudden change in diet, infections, or even parasites.
At home, you can try feeding your puppy a bland diet consisting of boiled chicken and rice, served in small, frequent meals. Make sure they have plenty of water available to stay hydrated, especially if they’ve been vomiting or experiencing diarrhea.
Monitor their symptoms closely. Warning signs that should prompt immediate veterinary attention include persistent vomiting or diarrhea, blood in their stool, lethargy, a bloated or painful abdomen, or if they’re not drinking water. These could indicate more serious conditions like an obstruction or an infection.
You're doing the right thing by monitoring your pup and seeking guidance. It's always a good idea to check in with a vet if the symptoms persist or worsen. I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss your specific situation further.
