    So tonight George started being sick at about 6.30pm and has carried on being sick every hour or so (it's now 11pm) except now hardly anything is coming up except spit. He's not really drinking anything and is looking very sorry for himself. George is 12 weeks old.
    I'm worried that he might have a blockage as he eats anything and everything. He did a poo earlier on about the same time that he started throwing up but nothing since. Does anyone have any experience of blockages? Or am I just over-reacting and a bit of sickness is normal for puppies?
    I have moved him over to 3 meals a day today but I don't think it's due to that because I've done it really slowly over a week, not all at once.

    Repeated vomiting would have me to the vet asap. Especially if my pup/dog was not drinking. So, get him to a vet as fast as you can.

    I second going to the vet asap, he is quite young and will dehydrate quickly too.

    Vet asap. Hope he's ok.
    ring your vet there should be someone to speak to and if they need to see him they will get you to bring him in.

    If your Vet is not open contact the closest Emergency Vet. Your own Vet may even have that number on their voice mail if they are closed.

    How is George? Crossing fingers everything is OK and the vet managed to get everything under control x

    Thanks everyone for your quick replies and advice. Just wanted to let everyone know that George is fine - he had just eaten something he shouldn't, so no blockage. And today he is completely back to normal - you wouldn't know that he'd been ill. So big relief.

    Phew! that's a relief, just been reading this.
    Just like human babies, puppies can dehydrate really quickly and become quite ill. And of course, they eat stuff they shouldn't........
