Shitzu sick

I have a shitzu and she hs been puking for a couple of days I have given her water I am not sure what else to do for her and cannot afford to take her to the vet do you have any suggestions

Answer #1

It’s possible the Anti-Cruelty Society in your area will see her at a far less cost than a private vet. IMO, you shouldn’t keep a pet if you can’t afford to care for her.

Answer #2

harley is giving good advice, except I like to boil the rice in chicken broth for the first meals and leave out the beef. It gives the protein but is easier to digest than boiled beef. Also, sorry to say, if you can not afford a vet then you should not have a pet.

Answer #3

Agree with everyone who suggested a bland diet of Rice and boiled burger or boiled chicken…offer a little bit, several times a day…does she have diarreah along with the puking?? If not, then there’s the possibility of a blockage, and you HAVE to go to the Vet for that…Call around and see if someone will take payments…You will lose her if she’s blocked and gets no treatment.

Answer #4

first of all how old is she, if it is a puppy she could have parvo or something serious that only a vet should take care of, I would suggest taking away all food for 24 hrs and only give water, then slowly introduce boiled hamburger and rice, little meals at a time, if she seems to be doing better then slowly mix in her normal food until all back to her food.

Answer #5

Has she eaten any foods that she normally dosent? Like chineese takeaways or something. Because it was probably too rich for her. If its just food then it will pass. Is she eating anything while shes been sick? If shes not eating I think you need to find a way to get her checked up. Has she eaten anything with chocolate? Dogs are allergic to chocolate and it could kill them. Same with cats. I think if this goes on any longer you should somehow get her seen to.

Best of luck.
