My Yorkie who is a little over a year old is sick with vomiting and diarreaha. I think he may have eaten something he shouldn't have. This started last evening. I gave him dry kibble and a little salmon on it for dinner. He may have found a stash of dog treats though. He is alert and seems to be moving around ok., and barking like usual.

I've been trying to get him to drink water but he isn't interested, and although he would prob eat I don't know if I should feed him. The vomiting has subsided, just a little this morning. He still seems to have the diarreaha though. It's been a little over 12 hours since this started. Should i give him a little chicken and rice or hold food til he seems better.. He's just laying around now, i think he's worn out. I did just get him back from the kennel so I guess some of this could be stress. Can someone offer some advice. Thanks

Try regular Kaopectate. That's what a breeder told me to use if Sydney had diarrhea.

I would take him to the vet, because he may have picked up something from the kennel. I wouldn't give him anything for the diarrhea, bc he is vomiting also. Also, with him not drinking and vomiting, he is at risk for becoming dehydrated, and if he can't keep anything down, he should be put on IV fluids. Watch that he doesn't get hypoglycemic on you too. You could try the chicken and rice and offer water(both in small amounts) and see how he does.

The vet immediately ...
Don't fool around with these guys and vomiting and diarrhea
They are small and can easily dehydrate

If he had just one or the other I'd say just wait it out
But both are no good

Best of luck
Hope he feels better

I agree take him to the vet...Maybe he picked up something or maybe he even ate something that he wasn't suppose to...
