My 10 week old teacup throwing up

19 10:50:07

Question
Ok so i just got a little 10 week old teacup poodle about 3 days ago. She is very active and playful. Well i went to bed last night and everything was fine but when i woke up this morning she had thrown up 3 times and once when i was awake. It is a light brown liquid. She also was very slow. Didn't want to run or come when i was talking to her. She drank a good bet of water but wouldn't eat her food. Also when my boyfriend was holding her it looked like she couldn't keep her head up it would just slowly fall backwards. But i made scrambled eggs a little bit ago and she went nuts and ate like half of them. Please help

Answer
Hi Christine,

Since eating has your puppy been acting better?
Was she able to keep the eggs down?

If your puppy can't keep foods down, and continues to throw up and act lethargic or weak, you should contact your veterinarian.

Any vomiting dog must be evaluated for dehydration. If your dog is vomiting persistently and unable to retain even water, wait no longer than 24 hours before going to your veterinarian.

Because you just got the puppy a couple of days ago, it's possible that the puppy is feeling some stress, or the problem can be a sudden change of diet. If she came from a pets store, she may have been coming down with something when you got her.

If you end up taking your puppy to a vet, bring the record of shots or other treatments you puppy has had.

Best of luck,
Patti
