My puppy is sick. HELP!!

[Jessica]

My 5 month old american bulldog mix was fine until like 1 or 2 days ago. She wont eat and she eat some grass and threw it back up. Her sister Tessa has been like this for 3 or 4 days now. And they wont drink any water or anything. What should I do?

Jessica, you should take your dogs to a veterinarian. Any dog who can't eat or drink for 3 or 4 days is really sick, probably dehydrated, and the longer you wait, the harder it may be to get your puppies healthy. This isn't something that will get better on its own if you give it time. Please get help for them! They could have worms, or a virus that attacks their intestines (like parvo virus), or they could have eaten something they shouldn't, but 3 or 4 days is a long time.

Jessica-

I would take the pups to the vet immediately. Like bluepearl stated - they could be dehydrated or worse - the longer you wait, the worse it can get. My pups had some issues a month or so back about vomiting and bathroom issues (not worms - we still dont know what they got into) - my vet gave them some medicine and the next day they were much better. Good luck and keep us posted :)
