by Liliana Hernandez
(San Antonio, Tx, Bexar)

My rottweiler is very sick his not eating, not energetic like he used to.

He lost a lot of weight by just drinking water 2 days ago i saw him throwing up his my 1st puppy and i don’t know what to do!

I try to give him milk for that night he got better but he threw up. Can anyone help me???

Hi Liliana
The only person who can help is a veterinarian I’m afraid and I strongly recommend that you get your puppy to one immediately.

His symptoms mean that he’s obviously sick and with a Rottie pup this could be Parvo or one of a number of other dog illnesses.

There’s nothing you can do yourself and no-one other than a veterinary professional can make an accurate diagnosis or help your poor pup. So PLEASE get him to your vet right away. His life could depend on it.

Great news! NEW
by: Lisa

That is great news! I know puppy digestive systems are very sensitive. My rottie, Delilah is now 19 months old and she can be a canine vacuum cleaner! If this is your first puppy make sure he gets A LOT of exercise. If they are bored, they will chew and eat everything! Make sure you socialize your rottie with other dogs and lots of people. This is very important. Delilah for a girl, is rather big. She is 126 pounds, but thinks she is 25 pounds. She goes to doggie daycare for exercise and socialization with other dogs and we take her lots of places where she interacts with people she does not know. If you meet her, she would make you feel like you’ve known her forever. But rotties are very protective. So as long as she does not feel I am in danger, she is very social. This is very important with rotties to socialize them well. Good luck with your new puppy!

Definitely talk with your vet. I know when my rottie was a pup, she was real sick. It was a difference in the food that the breeder was giving her than what I was giving her. She had to go on a bland diet. Cottage cheese and rice for 3 days. After that, we added just a little of her dog food to it for another 3 days. By the time she was on the dog food we wanted her on, she was feeling much better. But make sure you see your vet. Could be something else going on. Good luck. Keep us posted.
