Help my puppy is sick?

He was fine in the moring, he was playing around with his toys, he was also running around. He slept a lot during the afternoon and has been vomiting, he won't eat, he only drank water and vomited. He is a 3 month old Germanshepherd.
Answers:
He may have swallowed a piece of one of his toys. Examine all his toys and be sure that they don't have any pieces missing. If he's unable to eat or drink and hold it down without vomiting you definitely need to take him into the vets in the morning. Ask them to do an xray and they will probably do some blood work as well. You don't want to wait too long because your dog can get dehydrated. You may also want to take his temperature. A dogs normal temperature should be from 100.5 to 102.5 if he has a temperature higher than 102.5 or if it's really low you want to call the vet immediately and at least speak to someone and see if he should be seen before morning. Try to ask yourself some questions as well to be prepared for the vets office: could he have gotten into any chemicals, did he ingest a piece of toy/bone, have you changed his food lately, has he been vaccinated, you want to try to go over everything and give your vet as much information as possible because it will help your vet find the problem and hopefully resolve it sooner.
what food have you been feeding him? Because of the contaminated foods the first sign is vomiting. It causes kidney failure. You really need to get him the vet ASAP!!
Sounds like worms... is the vomit foamy looking? It could also be Parvo, which can strike a puppy quickly and kill within 24 hours. Usually with parvo, they'll vomit but also have water-type poop that stinks like nothing else. You can tell if it is parvo just by smell, trust me. I've been through it.
Pups vomit for many reasons. The only way to know why your pup is now sick is to get him to your vets.
It is very important to do this because pups can dehydrate very quickly and die.
Please get him seen as soon as possible.
I am sure the vet will need to see your pup ASAP.
Stop offering dog food ,and switch to brown rice carrots and Chicken fresh garlic for smell.You can make this your self.
No Onions!!Onions can cause liver damage.!!!
If you would like to buy some food that will not be on the recalled list or just check out the site to see if you food is on the recall list

Take that pup in to the vet, now. Don't wait till it's too late. Get off the computer and go--now!
It is very important that you get him to the vet right away. Do not wait until after the weekend- please take him as soon as you can. There is a virus called parvo that is extremely dangerous in puppies- it causes vomiting and diarrhea and they can die very quickly if they go untreated. German shepherds and rottweilers seem to be especially susceptable to contracting the virus- they get it from infected soil- usually in areas where people take their dogs a lot. It can live in the soil for over a year. I can not stress this enough- if it turns out to be nothing, at least you know- if it is parvo virus you can save his life.
Take it to the vet before it gets worse.
Get off of the computer and make an appointment with the vet ASAP!
please get your baby to the vet now!! it could be something really simple but its not worth taking chances good luck let us know jody
