Vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness usually signal a serious disease; severe vomiting/diarrhea can dehydrate and exhaust the dog, so it lies weakly — get to the vet for fluids and treat the cause. Common causes: acute gastroenteritis from overeating or spoiled food; infectious disease like distemper, parvovirus, or coronavirus; intestinal parasites like roundworm, hookworm, giardia; also chill, stress, organ injury, or poisoning.
A 2-month-old Labrador with diarrhea, vomiting white foam, lethargy, no barking, no tail wagging
Diarrhea, white-foam vomit and lethargy in a 2-month-old have many causes needing clinical workup; usually acute gastroenteritis from bad diet, or viral/parasitic/toxic. If it ate spoiled or greasy food, suspect acute gastroenteritis—fast, give probiotics/anti-inflammatories, and see a vet if weak/dehydrated. If unvaccinated/un-dewormed and young, consider parvovirus, coronavirus or distemper—highly fatal—requiring hospital care.
