Why is my newly adopted dog gagging, not eating, and has diarrhea?

Cough can be caused by an infection, heart problem or lung condition, it is important to first know the cause before treating it as treatment is different from condition to another. The most common disease causing cough is a viral/bacterial infection called Kennel cough, this disease usually resolves without treatment within a couple weeks but if the cough is too severe it is recommended to go to the vet in order to get cough medicine and antibiotics.

He is probably suffering from a condition called kennel cough, it's quite common in rescues, the lack of appetite could be due to the disease or due to the change of environment, the diarrhea is probably not related to the infection i mentioned before. i would recommend taking him to the vet tomorrow for a full checkup, he might need some medications to treat his problems.

This is suspicious of kennel cough, which is an infection of the upper respiratory system. The throwing up when coughing is normally seen when dogs have a bad cough like this. A dry nose versus wet nose actually does not a indicate a specific problem. Kennel cough is most suspicious if Chance has been in contact with other dogs in the past month or so. If Chance has not had contact with other dogs, then the cough is likely due to something else. They can develop a cough with more concerning conditions like pneumonia, heart worm, heart disease and cancer. For this reason, it's best to have Chance checked out by a veterinarian soon. They will be able to determine the cause of the cough and prescribe the appropriate treatment. If Chance came from a shelter, then they often offer a free vet exam within a couple of weeks after adoption. I hope that helps and Chance gets better soon.

Poor Max. Coughing and gagging could be due to a number of things, but most concerning in a young puppy is contagious disease such as "kennel cough" or even pneumonia. Diarrhea may be due to intestinal parasites, a diet change, or stress. Monitor him closely over the weekend. If he stops eating, acts lethargic, the cough progresses, or he develops a fever (99.5 - 102.5 F is normal in dogs), then take him to an emergency vet right away.

This is suspicious of kennel cough, which is an infection of the upper respiratory system. The throwing up action when coughing is normally seen when dogs have a bad cough like this. Kennel cough is most suspicious, since she came from a shelter. They can also develop a cough with conditions like pneumonia, heart worm and heart disease, but these are less likely. It's best to have Dottie checked out by a veterinarian. These infections are usually easily treated by the vet. The shelters usually offer veterinary services for no fee within a couple weeks of adoption, so it would be good to call the shelter that was adopting her through PetsMart. I hope that helps and Dottie gets better soon.

Congrats on your new dog, but I'm sorry Scruffy is sick! It could be he is cuffing from kennel cough, which is a highly contagious respiratory disease. I'd have him checked out by a vet for this either today or tomorrow. Rest him, only taking him out to potty and bringing him right back in when he's done. Best of luck.

It sounds as Jackson is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
