My 2 puppies are throwing up light pink liquid, i gave them a low dose of peptobismol, and it doesn't work, also they have very watery stool, its very strong scented.

I went and got them check for parvo but they came out negative, so what is it?


Hi Vanessa
I'm afraid I'm not a veterinarian and I can't possibly say what is wrong with your puppies, but puppy diarrhea and vomiting are seen in many dog illnesses, including Canine Parvovirus and Coccidiosis.

A negative Parvo test doesn't necessarily mean that your pups don't have Parvo, but they could have Coccidiosis or another illness too. I'd strongly recommend that you have your vet do another fecal exam to find out what is causing these symptoms so that you can get a proper diagnosis and the right treatment.

Little puppies like this can get very sick very fast and the dehydration caused by diarrhea and vomiting can cause big problems too. Please have your vet check them out again right away.

Best of luck, I hope these little guys are doing much better soon.
