Question:

: Today my 9 wk old puppy (who sometimes sneaks the cat's food) has been vomiting periodically. She doesn't seem to be acting ill, but I also saw the cat vomit once. I checked the dates on the food and everything is in order...what could be the cause? Is this serious? Thanks!

Dear Tracy,

Yes, it is serious; a 9 week old puppy can become dehydrated from the vomitting very quickly. Please take your puppy to the vet as soon as possible. You should have your cat checked out as well.

Good luck,
Leslie
