my puppy is 9 1/2 weeks old he is a male pitbull. just recently he started throwing up and shakes when he is trying to sleep. he also cries.

he does have his first set of shots. what can be wrong?







Hi Gustavo
I'm afraid that one set of puppy shots doesn't guarantee immunity in such a young puppy and as your pup is vomiting it sounds as though your pup is sick.

Pitbulls are one of the breeds that are especially vulnerable to Canine Parvovirus which is a very serious illness. There are also many other dog illnesses that affect puppies and I strongly suggest that you have your little guy examined by your vet.

Only a vet can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe treatment if necessary so please have your pup checked out asap.

Best of luck, hope he's doing much better soon.
