seven week old toy poodle is sick

my seven week old toy poodle has diarrhea, vomiting not eating and drinks very little . She had her first shots 2 days ago.

What may be wrong?


Hi
Depending on how severe her symptoms are, it could be that she's reacting to the vaccinations or it's possible she contracted an illness before she was vaccinated and is now symptomatic.

It's not that unusual for a puppy to have a mild reaction to puppy shots. These can include diarrhea, loss of appetite, being extra sleepy and possibly a low-grade fever. Vomiting is more unusual.

However, these are also symptoms of many of the serious, contagious dog illnesses that puppies are prone to catching.

If your pup seems truly unwell, rather than just a bit 'out of sorts', I would suggest you seek veterinary attention for her right away. Diarrhea that is persistent (especially if worsening or very watery, the inability to keep food or water down, and apparent exhaustion would all indicate that she's sick.

Best of luck, I hope she is feeling better soon.
