Question
i have a toy puddle he is 1 year and 6 months old. He has had diarrhea for the past 2 days and yesterday he started vomiting white and yellow and the diarrhea is a little bit yellow he is depresses and don't want to eat nothing yesterday

Answer
Ivelisse -

Diarrhea and vomiting can cause dehydration which can cause severe health problems.  Please have your poodle evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible; the  sooner you seek help for him, the sooner you can avoid further complications. Often over the counter medications can cause more harm than good.

Good Luck -
