My puppy is weak, lethargic, and threw up after eating sticks. Vet now?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 9 days old | 20 lbs

My puppy has been weak and lethargic all day, which is very unlike him. He is a 3mo golden doodle. He has been eating sticks and leaves from the backyard, and he threw up this morning. Help please, we don’t know if we should take him to the vet or not!!! What’s wrong with him?

Yes, I do think you should take Buddy into a vet now. I'm wondering if what he has been eating in the yard has made him sick or if he has a stomach illness. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms and can treat him.
