diarrhea & vomiting -- shih tzu

Rating: 9

My puppy (9 months) has been vomiting and having diarrhea for the past week - week and a half. It even went as far as doing it in his cage which he has NEVER done.. not even when he was a puppy being trained. Other than these two things happening, he is fine. He is eating and drinking water...he is playful and has alot of energy.. i do know that he plays with grass and twigs.. but it has never been this bad for this long. What else could it be????

Thank you

    Eating grass and sticks can do this.  Intestinal parasites are another concern.  You should have your vet test his stool.  Is he on a monthly dewormer?  If so, what kind?
