Hi guys! We bought a new dog on 28/09 9-week old Bert, with 2 vaccines and 2deworm(according to his breeder but the medical record states otherwise). He was eating well until today . My mom told me that he vomited once and 8 loose bowel over the afternoon. She said (im away in saudi and mom lives in the philsppines)she didn't feed him anything weird however, could these factors contribute to this situation?:
a, he was fed 2x a day by his previous owner and we feed him 3x (owner said he is concerned about his weight but he is only a little over 3lbs)
b. we bought him a new cage where he have this water source and can drink a lot of whatever whenever he wants (could it be fluid overload?we were just giving him water after every meal in the past)
c. mom usually feed him dry dog food but today she decided to add a lil water and she thinks she soaked it for a long period
We were able to reach a vet however they told us to wait for atleast a day since it just happened 6 hours before. They said the dog might just be stressed or excited since its just been 3 days since he separated from his mom.
The vet instructed us to feed him boiled potatoes (mom is spoon feeding him)and add a spoon of brown sugar to his drinking water. I dunno if it's supposed to help in electrolyte replacement but my mom did it and doesn't see a lot of improvement.
we are a bit worried since this is the first time we would be taking care of a dog with this breed (english bulldog). my mom couldn't sleep because she is so worried.
Anybody experienced the same thing as this? Is it possible that the dog was already sick when we bought him?
