Could antibiotics make my German Shepherd puppy throw up and gurgle?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

What is wrong with my German Shepherd puppy? Her throat moves like a pulse and her stomach makes gurgling noises and she throws up. The vet gave us medication for parasites and she's currently on antibiotics.

If Lolli is currently on antibiotics, she could be sick from that. A side effect of antibiotics is GI upset. Try giving her the antibiotics with boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice to see if that helps. If it doesn't, have her seen by her vet.
