QuestionI have two white boxer puppies who are about 8 weeks old. One is doing well & gaining weight, while the other has started throwing up every once and a while and looks kind of puny to me. What could possibly be wrong? Could it be parvo or something?
AnswerIf your puppy has not been vaccinated, parvo is a definite possibility. However, I would recommend a trip to the vet as it could be something as simple as worms because puppies are usually born with worms. So take a stool specimen. I would automatically give him deworming such as Panacur or Drontal to be safe. Try feeding a bland diet of chicken or burger and rice with yogurt to see if that helps settle his stomach.
