Dog seems sick

[frank87]

My 10 week old dog stomach is growling and he has vomited 3 times one of those time he threw up a pice of plastic out and yellow foamy stuff. the dog looks sad aswell. What can be the problem? plz help

He needs to go to the vet. It's possible that his intestine could be blocked, or the plastic could cause internal damage. Can you look around and figure out what he ate and how much? Has he pooped lately? Is he still drinking water? How often is he vomiting?

 

[frank87]

he has pooped like 3 times since i notice him like that he does not drink water and he tries to vomit.

I know you might find valuable help here but you should go to an emergency vet ASAP anyway!!!

[PoodleMommy]

call information and ask for the number of the emergency vet then call a taxi and head on over!

There is no excuse to not get this dog to a vet ASAP.

im going to have to wait till my dad comes

 

[PoodleMommy]

which would be how long?

 

[frank87]

1 hour and 30min. how much do u think it would be to get the plastic wrap thing out of him if he has more in his stomach?

 

[PoodleMommy]

I am not gonna lie, an ER visit and xrays alone is going to be expensive... however it is very important that it get done and the poor dog does not continue to suffer.

 

[frank87]

ahh thats sucks i dont have money just like 100 bucks

[frank87]

is there any hope that it can be anything else? and if he has something in his stomach is there a way that it can be taken out without surgery

Frank,

How is the puppy now? Have you looked around? What do you think he has eaten? What kind of plastic - soft, hard, sharp edges, soft edges, do you have the bit he sicked up?

A 10 week old pup is very fragile. In the best of all circumstances, he has eaten a bit of soft plastic that has passed through him without damage. Otherwise, that pup really needs to get to a vet now. Can you call your dad and is there a neighbour who could take you? Otherwise ... who in your immediate neighbourhood has a pet? Can you call them and ask for an emergency vet number? I have heard that some vets may charge for this though my own does not - even for panicky calls in the middle of the night.

im just going to have to wait till he comes because i dont know any 1 out here and it was that plastic u wrap stuff with that pops that was what he vomit early in the day he may have more in there or maybe like paper beacause there was a pile of shreded paper.

 

[frank87]

oh and he does not look good

 

[frank87]

ok so i took the pup to the vet when my dad got home. the stomach growling stoped like 30min before i took it to the vet and the vet gave him 2 shots and food and medication. if it does not look better in 24 hours i have to take him back for x-rays. he look way better than he looked 4 hours ago!!!!
i had to pay 140

I hope he continues to get better!
