>From one Lynn to another Lynn, I agree with Katie. She's far too tiny to be cared for at home. Call the emergency vet tonight - that's what they're for. When I had my doberman, she used to get tummy ills often, and for her, since she was 70+ pounds, I would cook her white rice and give her water. When she started doing a little better, I would add fresh cooked ground lamb, and also dry curd cottage cheese (not creamed cottage cheese that already has milk added) - but she was large and not a puppy. So, do check with the emergency vet. Keep us posted,
