If he is vomiting it's not a bad thing for him to not eat for 24 hours but he has to drink...especially if he has kidney disease. Is there an emergency vet nearby? If he can't keep water down he may need some SQ fluids, just under the skin to get him hydrated.

Hoping that today is a good day

I hope that Harley had a good evening and was not too upset by fireworks.  I dismissed the not eating and loose stools of my kids to the hot weather.   As long as he is adequately hydrated.   Keep us informed.    Jan, Ben, Morley and Joyce wish you well!

Peggy - sorry that Harley is

Peggy - sorry that Harley is not feeling well, and I agree with the others, he definitely needs to be drinking water.  Maybe try some of the plain flavor Pedialyte and if he won't drink that, then try mixing it in with his water.

Hope he feels better soon.  I'll keep Harley and you in my prayers.

I am glad Harley is feeling better and hope his poops will soon be normal again.  Those viruses are really hard on our fur babies.

Glad to hear Harley is doing

Glad to hear Harley is doing better.  I had the human virus and it knocked me out for days. I have NEVER been so sick.  I can imagine what a virus does to our puppers.
