Puppy has diarrhea and occasional vomiting (Second opinion)

Thanks for reaching out about your puppy's tummy troubles. It sounds like your little one might be dealing with an upset stomach, which can be quite common in puppies. There are a few potential causes, such as dietary indiscretion (like eating something they shouldn't have), a sudden change in diet, stress, or even a mild infection.



To help your puppy feel better at home, consider withholding food for 12 hours to allow their tummy to settle, while still providing access to fresh water to prevent dehydration. After the fasting period, you can introduce a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small, frequent meals. Keep things calm and cozy to reduce stress.



However, there are a few warning signs to watch for. If your puppy becomes lethargic, refuses water or food for more than 24 hours, or you see blood in their stool or vomit, it's important to seek immediate veterinary care. Persistent vomiting, diarrhea lasting more than 48 hours, or any signs of pain or discomfort also warrant a closer look.
