My puppy is vomiting, has hot ears/paws, and scratches. Is he sick?

If Sammy has been vomiting that frequently, we need to consider other causes in addition to allergies including parasites, gastrointestinal foreign body or intussusception, liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Since he is a puppy, a fecal exam, deworming and abdominal x-rays are strongly advised. Please follow up with your veterinarian to discuss these tests. As far as diets are concerned, a novel protein (rabbit, duck, venison, kangaroo) or hydrolyzed diet is recommended.

It sounds as Rupertt 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.

Because of the vomiting, I recommend getting your pet checked by your vet as soon as possible. Continued vomiting is very concerning and can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance as well as low blood sugar. He might have eaten something that either disagreed with him or something that has gotten stuck somewhere in his gastrointestinal tract. He could be sore from a hidden injury you are unaware of, he could have been exposed to some sort of toxin or irritant in his environment or this could be early signs of another condition or disease process. Your pet may need IV fluids to help support his/her system and to be fasted at the same time in order to give the gut a rest. Your vet can do an exam, blood work and possibly x-rays to determine the cause of the illness and suggest an effective treatment plan.

As long as Scout is bright, alert and eating, you can try to manage the GI signs at home. Fast him for 24 hours to give his GI tract a rest. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. If he doesn't vomit, feed until the stool is normal before transitioning slowly to his regular diet. If he vomits or if the diarrhea does not resolve, see your veterinarian. If he develops lethargy or loses his appetite, see your vet. The head shaking and scratching at his ears may indicate ear infection. Scout may end up seeing the veterinarian regardless. An ear swab can be examined to diagnose yeast or bacterial infection in his ears.

Scratching at the ears and shaking the head is often signs of an ear infection. Since Taswell is also having a little bit of vomiting and some accidents it could also be a sign of allergy or other systemic illness. I would recommend a veterinary visit to check for an air infection or other signs of illness for Taswell. I hope he's feeling better soon, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
