Please help. My 10 week old mixed breed pup has been ill for three days. Friday night her belly was very big, but she seemed to act just fine. Saturday around noon she started with diarrhea and vomiting off and on for several hours. By Sunday (yesterday) she seemed almost back to normal, but still not much of an appetite or drinking much. But today, again around noon, the diarrhea and vomiting started in, and both have lasted much of the last 8 hours. She seems very weak and has lost weight. She barely moves. I am very scared. Due to the holiday, the vet's office is closed. Does anyone have any suggestions until I can get her to the vet tomorrow? Please help. She is very special to me. Thanks.

Sounds like giardia or worms. There must be an emergency vet arounf where you are. If not try to keep him hydrated till you can get to a vet

I worry about parvo in cases like this. You should get her to the vet as soon as you can.

Most towns have emergency vets that are open even on holidays. Time to go there.

If this is parvo then every second counts, you can't afford to wait, not even 2 hours much less a day.

Good luck.
