Is my shih tzu sick?

19 11:47:47

Question
I am worried that my 12 week old shih tzu Daisy is sick. This morning when I got her out of her kennel, I noticed she had thrown up her food that she ate the night before, and she hasn't eaten anything all day. She's continued to drink, but not eat. She's usually very playful and runs around a lot, but today she has done nothing but sleep and lay around.

I'm worried that something might be wrong with her, but I can't call a vet until in the morning? What should I do?

Answer
Hi Kacey,
There's not much you can do until she sees a Vet. It may just be an upset stomach, or she may have eaten something she shouldn't have. Unless she is vomiting uncontrollably and/or you see blood, it will wait until the Vet opens up.
God Bless,
Becky
