Our 10 week old puppy was just sick, can anyone help?

stop food for 24 hours. Make sure he has water available and is drinking. Call the vet in the morning, and make an appointment. After 24 hours boil up some chicken in plain water, no salt onions or seasoning or gravey. Offer very small pieces maybe 3 or 4. If he keeps it down 3 hours later offer some more, and slowly build his food portion back up. Make sure your puppy is wormed every month till he is 6 months old. When he is 9 months old he will need worming again and then every 3 months for the rest of his life. He will also need heart worm preventative meds, so see your vet about both kinds of wormers.

Hes in no immediate danger as long as he is drinking water or there is a danger of becoming dehydrated. I had the same issue with my dog when he was a puppy and still do occasionally and hes 2 now What people forget that that when you get a puppy they haven’t long since been off milk from Mum and the dry food and tinned food is way too rich sometimes for there stomachs to deal with immediately and sometimes you have the occasional issue like you have now. Get some fresh cooked chicken and bread and some milk, mix together and feed your puppy that. for a couple of days then slowly introduce the dry dog food softened with water and add bread then slowly remove the bread and then the water from the food and it should be about 9 days before youi are back to dry complete again but the hassle is worth it. If he brings that up but is still drinking water take him to the vets as it may not be just a dodgy stomach he could have.
