After a Teddy puppy recovers from parvovirus, it still vomits a little. What does that mean?
Parvo badly damages the gut and needs time to heal; mild vomiting during recovery is normal if it lessens and the dog's spirit and appetite return. Feed easily digestible food in small meals; if vomiting persists, rule out other disease.

My one-month-old puppy ate meat and now has diarrhea and vomiting—what should I do?
A one-month-old's gut is immature; meat (anything but milk) easily causes indigestion, diarrhea, even vomiting. Stop feeding 12–24 hours with probiotics, keep warm; if lethargic or poor appetite, it may be parasites or distemper, parvo, or corona—see a vet.
What happens if a puppy eats dirt?
Eating dirt can cause digestive upset—stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea—from bacteria and parasites in soil, and too much may cause intestinal blockage needing a vet. It may signal a trace-element deficiency, so give a supplement and varied diet.
Why is my puppy’s stool like this—is it serious?
Yellow, undigested, loose stool usually comes from hard-to-digest food or a weak gut—high-carb or spoiled items like spoiled goat milk, beans, corn, rice, or bread. Sudden changes in environment, food, vaccination, or deworming can also trigger it; fast the dog and offer probiotics, and see a vet if it looks unwell.
My puppy started having episodes on the 18th. At first it had seizures and couldn’t stand steady; later it couldn’t get up at all, just lay there with its hind legs splayed and let out straining ‘uh-uh’ cries. It even vomits up the food I syringe-feed it, and seems to have lost bowel and bladder control.
Based on your description, your puppy's seizures, unsteady stance, and loss of bowel and bladder control could be caused by meningoencephalitis, epilepsy, intracranial parasites, or poisoning. Trembling, seizures, and difficulty standing are neurological symptoms that are quite serious, so you should take the puppy to a veterinary hospital promptly for diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying care and putting its life at risk. Because these signs can stem from several different causes, a vet visit is needed to confirm the underlying problem.
