Watch him like a hawk . The poop would be normal because of the irritation and posable the meds your vet gave . Try to get water in him . Keep us up dated !

Take him back to the vet! The vomiting, and smelly poop could be Parvo. Have noticed any worms? When we 1st got our German Shepherd he was vomiting, and had extremely stong smelling watery poop, and the vets had us come in right away because they said it was signs of Parvo. The bubble wrap, and shredded papers may have already gone through him. Please let us know what happens!!!!!!!!!

Are there tests that can be done to determine whether or not it is Parvo before you put him to sleep? I would do that first and maybe talk to the vet and see if he can work something out with you if he won't maybe contact another vet because vets are animal people and they should be willing to help and if they aren't then I wouldn't bother with that vet in the future.

I'm really boiling here !!! Anyone who takes on a pup takes on the responsibility ! If the dog's suffering is an issue , yes PTS . If there's ANY chance of recovery .. this is what you bought !! Everyone getting a new dog or pup should have a $1000 fall back for their well being . I feel for you , but I feel more for your pup and many others that are brought into our world through no fault of their own and end up in the incinerator .

Alot of vets will bill you for mandatory treatment. You dont even know what it is yet, so I would advise not thinking about the option of putting your pup to down yet. It just could be an infection in his intestines. (sp?) I had something like this with West, two shots and some pills. It got worse shortly before it got better. But all it was was an infection.

Some dogs are cheap to "buy" but no dog is cheap to raise.

Talk to your vet about billing you, who says you gotta pay?

I know Im gonna get beaten for that but think about the pup.

Yes, they would...we know from past experience that not everyone thinks about their animals as passionately as we do. It sounds like this is a younger kid whose parents don't want to shell out the cash.

they bought a dog a few weeks ago and now they are going to put it to sleep? they should be put to sleep. Harsh or not I dont care... I am sick of people not caring about their pets. Dont get them if you can commit.

I am sorry but is this person a complete moron? Sorry but this is the most ridiculous post I have ever seen. This person(s) seem not to be able to think or take care of themselves much less another living thing. I hope that whatever vet they take this pup to can see through them and hopefully this pup will get a better life with someone else if they havent already waited too long to save him.

Sorry I am not in the business of babying people who dont care about their pets well being.

I gave helpful advice at the beginning you didnt want to take it.

Your still not caring for your dog... your dog is not going to survive on rice and chicken forever and you would know that if you took him to a vet.
