Hi,  All.  We got an alaskan malamute pup last week and he was fine for the for the first 5 days, however yesterday he started having diarrhea and vomiting.  Overnight he had left 6 piles of vomit and had been to the tolite 3 times, all stools were pure brown liquid, the consistencey of very runny gravy.  His diet changed yesterday morning as we had run out of the food we were given by the breeder, he was also given a filled bone treat.  The breeder said to starve him until tonight then feed him eggs for a couple of days but I have read that at 9 weeks starving is not adviseable.  Should I just take him to the vet or try the eggs ????

Thanks

Starving for 24 hours & giving electrolyte or glucose/pinch(yes a very small pinch)of salt in cooled bolied water

Then white fish/chicken cooked in water with boiled rice in very small quantities

No milk/eggs for at least three/four days(dogs do not need milk anyway)

Then back onto the food supplied by the breeder & if you want to change it do it very gradually

If this pup is less than 12 weeks I would phone the vet, the pup may need the liquid replaced if he is vomiting and passing a lot of liquid. Don't wait till the morning ring now and the vet will advise if it can wait. diarrhoea & vomiting in it's self is not a problem as such but the loss of fluid is.

Realise you could tell if the dog was dehydrated Moonmaiden but we can't chance that the poster will ;)

I presume the owner would take the dog to the vet immediately

Sorry, I did not read your post the way it was intended, and once the pup has been seen by the vet I agree with your advice.

I should have started with go to the vet then ;)
