Question
my 11 month old pitbull puppy has been lethargic for 2 days now. HE has been throwing up greenish yellow fluids after he drinks water. he won't eat and goes back to bed after drinking water and just looks sad.I am unemployed and do not have much money but I need to help him should I take him to a vet?

Answer
Two days is long enough for this poor guy. Vomiting yellow is an indication that his liver and pancreas are inflamed- and that is not good. He does need to see a vet. He could have pancreatitis and if left untreated it can be fatal.

He must have eaten something he shouldn't have and you know how puppies are. They get into everything. I know it's hard with low cash but there is care-credit which you can get at most vets offices. Or get him some pet-insurance afterward.

But he needs some antibiotics and other supportive care for this. He looks sad because he is in lot of pain.
Please call the vet as soon as you can.
