Question
Hello,
We have an 8 month old male jack Russell, Yorkshire terrier cross puppy. We have also had him castrated if it is any consolation.
recently he has been sick, last night twice and has not being himself. He goes to sleep a lot and is very mopey. I don't know what could have caused this as we haven't seen him eat anything he is not meant to. we feed him puppy food, which is dry, and sometimes wet food at lunch along with his dry food.
Do you know what could have caused him to be ill?
could it be he has just eating something with out us knowing that has effected his system?
Thank you in advance

Answer
Catherine -

Please get your baby to a vet right away.

There are so many things that can make a puppy sick - Some of them are minor, but some of the are truly life-threatening.  And of course, I'm not a vet.

Good luck to your little fella !
