Puppy very Sick

Aries

I have a four month old Black lab she is really sick and wont eat anything she is drinking water occasionally but i have tried every type of food i can get she wont eat. She has Diarrhea and is throwing up every once in awhile. I took her to the vet and they didnt do much they tested for parvo and it was neg. They said she might have chewed on something and it got stuck in her intestions but they dont know for sure and arent helping me at all. I dont know what i should do should i force feed her or just leave her alone. Im all out of options at this point and im worried she may die. Thank you-

  HOw long has she been sick?  If the Vet did a Parvo test and it was neg, it could be that maybe your dog just has an upset stomach.  I would stop trying to feed him , just make sure he has   water.  You need to give his stomach a chance to settle.  Try not feeding him  the rest of the day, make sue you give him water but not alot at one time. You could even put a few ice cubes in his bowl and let him chew them . give it 24 hours , without food.  If the diarrhea does not stop or gets worse take him back to the vet.  If it does stop don't put him right back on his normal food, give him something bland so as not to upset his stomach.  Rice and hamburger work well. Let us know how this works out.

   

   Good luck
