my rottweiler is sick and has real bad diarrhea and is throwing up.

Just last week we took him to the vet and they thought that he had parvo and it just turned out to be whipworms and i really don't what to do.



Hi Tammy
What a beautiful rottie! I'm sorry to hear he's sick.

I would recommend taking him back to your veterinarian right away if he's suffering from vomiting and diarrhea.

These are major symptoms in many of the contagious dog illnesses such as Parvo and should never be left untreated.

At the very least, he could become seriously dehydrated even if he doesn't have a major illness. Whipworms can cause some pretty serious health problems, but if he has been diagnosed I'm sure he was also given medication for them.

It is possible that the medication is causing some degree of stomach upset, but it sounds as though this may be worse than that.

Rottweilers are one of the breeds that are especially susceptible to Parvo and I would strongly recommend that you have your vet look at him again, and maybe do another fecal test.

Best of luck with him, I hope this turns out well for you.
