    9 weeks puppy takes medicine then vomits
    I got a toy poodle here 9 weeks old, she hasn't been eating for the last 1.5 days now and just lies down and sleeps, she drank water though. 1.5 days ago, she vomited and had diarrhea, then I brought her to the vet yesterday, and they did some blood to test. The result came back today, and she had too much white blood cell, there is bacteria. The vet gave me two type of medicine, but every time I fed her, 1 hour later, she puked all out. I don't know what to do, and she hasn't been eating, I tried to feed her very liquidy food, she wouldn't eat anything. But the diarrhea has stopped, I guess there just isn't anything for her to poo..
    I really don't know what to do, any suggestion?

    Poor little girl. Did the vet say why her white blood cell count was so high? Did he give you a reason for this? What kind of liquidy foods are you feeding her?

    Well you said you went to the vet and they gaved you medicine. Try giving iher the medecine and when you do lift her head up and try rubbing its throat for she could swallow it. If the vomitting continues contact your doctor asap because she is still to young and if you wait longer she might not make it. I don't think it white blood cells she might have worms. I asked my dad and he used to be a vet's assistant. Best of luck though.

    Yes, I was curious myself about the white blood cell count. That didn't sound right to me either. You might want to get a second opinion from another vet. She's just a baby, and cannot be going this long without eating. If she still isn't eating and is still lethargic by morning, I would definitely get her into the vet. There is something more going on here in my opinion, and this medication will not be helping her if she is vomiting it up. Make sure you keep her hydrated. Is she drinking enough water? It is very important that she is drinking water.

    Also, has she finished her first round of shots yet, and as mentioned above, has she been dewormed?

    She did got her first shot and dewormed. I have been feeding her solid food, but I crunched and mix with water, I don't know how much she digested since she puked a while later, then I fed her canned soft food especially for puppy who has a weak stomach, and again, I don't know how much she took in, because she puked it again, then I tried rice a while ago, but she didn't eat so I didn't force her. I have been making her to take water every hour or so, she just lies there and sleeps the whole time.
    Is there anything I can do to make her eat better? The vet did suggest me to go to the emergency hospital, but I cannot financially support this...
    Please helppp...

    I'm sorry to tell you that there is not much you will be able to do from home. I would take you vets advice. Most places will let you set up a payment plan to help you out with that. I wouldn't wait on this one. She's just a baby, and she cannot live if she can't keep anything down. She will become severely dehydrated, and she will slowly suffer and die. You must take her into the emerg. Vet by whatever means you can. You don't want her to suffer a slow death because of this.

    This is one of the biggest mistakes that are made when you get a puppy. Many puppies get sick, and there isn't money set aside for pet emergencies.

    How does the medecine look like? Is it liquid or like pills? Try mixing it with her food.Try feeding her the solid food though it better for her and healthier. Make sure she drinks the water at least. You can make an arrangement with the hospital. Which food does she throw up the most the solid one or the liquid one??
