    8 Week old sick puppy
    I hve a miniature pincher mixed with a beagle. She weighs 3lbs. She hasn't eaten in two days. She has been vomiting and has diarrhea. I get her from the humane society and Im afraid she has or might be getting parvo. What should I do to get her to drink or eat something?

    you can always take her to the vet if nothing helps...other wise try some softer food thats easier on her stomach if she still does not eat you should check with the humane society to see what her past life was like and then take her to the vet

    At her age, not eating or drinking for two days, along with vomiting and diarrhea are serious causes for concern. Your guess of parvo may be a good one. I wouldn't try to second guess what is going on, your pup needs medical attention. You need to contact your vet immediately. Vet's usually have someone on call, on the weekends and holidays, in case of emergency.

    If it is parvo, the sooner she is under a vet's care, the more likely she is to survive.

    Agreed, Parvo is a life threatening condition. The problem with a combination of vomiting and diarrhea is dehydration, and a puppy can be affected by this much easier than a larger dog.. Get her to the vet...
