    Keep a close eye on him, monitor how much he drinks, whether he eats anything, keep a close eye on his pooping and peeing, how often he pukes, and what it looks like. Your vet will need to know all this.
    Be prepared for a vet visit if he hasn't perked up by the morning, or sooner if he goes downhill further.
    Sick dog-momma sleepless night ahead OP!:o

    Could he stay in tonight? If he sounded like he pooped, but didn't, I'm taking it he's got wind! That can be pretty uncomfortable. The fact that he's both gassy and pukey would have me on alert with a view to going to the vet tomorrow.

    But have you called the vet?

    Don't give him any more nuts if he has a dodgy tum. Give him a little boiled chicken or fish with some rice until his tums settle.

    Has the dog been wormed lately?

    Have appointment later.wormed at 6 mths

    Aw, poor little man. Gastro is very common with pups. Jabs are bound to make him a bit groggy. Coupled with the shock of going to the vet, I would feel bad after!!

    At least he'll be on the road to recovery, very soon. Give him fish or chicken and white rice like I said, and he'll soon be as right as the No. 9 bus.

    Snap! My dog was at the vets yest for the exact same thing. Injections took the fever right down, he's still sleepy today but much more himself when awake, even wants me to play ball with him. It's horrible seeing them sick but he'll come around fast.
