Question
hi there i have a 5 month puppy boxer and he has been sick for 2 days now, i have tried not giving him anything to eat for a few hours but as soon as i do give him some thing he is sick a couple of hours later.
Hello Gareth,
There is absolutely no way to diagnose something as being "sick."
If you are referring to him vomiting after eating every time- then something is seriously wrong.
Is he running a fever? Does he have diarrhea? Does he vomit immediately after eating, or later?
No one can diagnose what could be the problem- but it is serious.
For every hour that you delay getting him to the vet- the risk of him getting dehydrated and causing more health issues and permanent damage increases.
Get him to a vet ASAP!
