My 8-week Schnauzer puppy is vomiting, not eating. Should I see a vet?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 5 days old

I have an 8 week old Schnauzer and she started throwing up yesterday. She is not eating and is drinking very minimal water. She used the restroom normal yesterday, but did not use it this morning. What could cause this? Do we need to take her to the vet?

It sounds as Frio 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 her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.

Mini Schnauzer vomiting foam, liquid poo, not eating. Vet now?

Hello there. I am sorry the Gustuf is not feeling well. I recommend taking him to the veterinarian as soon as you can. He could have an upset stomach, but he could have something more serious, like pancreatitis or infection. They may need to take some bloodwork or x-rays to determine the cause of his sickness. Hope this helps!
