Based on the described symptoms, the preliminary diagnosis is acute gastroenteritis or an infectious disease. If the dog is unvaccinated, suspect canine parvovirus, coronavirus, or distemper, which cause vomiting, diarrhea, and poor appetite and can be life-threatening.
Seek prompt infectious-disease testing and hospitalization at a pet clinic. Home treatment may worsen the condition; if absolutely unavoidable, use cimetidine or mepivacaine hydrochloride to stop vomiting and bismuth subcarbonate to stop diarrhea, and give glucose water during fasting to prevent dehydration.
After improvement, feed small, frequent meals of easily digested food with oral probiotics to regulate the gut.
