My 10 week old Mali pup is unable to keep any food down.
It all started with what appeared to be a sneezing, hickup, hack about three days ago. A couple times a minute he appears to have a sneeze, hickup, hackup (that's really the best way to describe it). Then two days ago he threw up stomach bile. I fed him his breakfast and he threw that up. Fed him lunch, he threw that up. Then we went to the vet and she injected him with some meds and gave me some oral antibiotcs for him. Well that next morning with breakfast, he threw it and the meds up. So he's been at the Vet for observations and tests, Blood test and X-Rays all show no signs for concern. He goes back to the vet in the morning for more tests, observations, and additional X-rays.
Has anyone seen this or does anyone have ideas of what it could be. THANKS!!!

I have no idea what this could be and I really feel for your little guy. 3 days is a long time to be vomiting.
Is the vet thinking about doing barium x-rays today? Might not be a bad idea as barium uncovers things (objects and obstructions) that normal x-rays do not.
He was eating dry Royal Caninn Puppy and Wet Nutro Puppy. Since the Vet has instructed only Wet.
Here is something that I believe is related but the vet does not. He urinates constantly. And by that I mean he will urnitate and then minutes later try again withonly drips, then within minutes go again without anything coming out. In a period of 10 minutes he has tried to urnitate 6 times!
As for the X-Rays they did conduct X-rays and there were no abnormalities with his stomach, intestines, or colon.
Presently he is back home, but did vommit once today. He still has the sneezing episodes too.

I don't know if it's related to the vomiting, but 6 times in 10 minutes is not normal. Have you taken a sample in to check for a bladder/urinary tract infection? How long has he been peeing this frequently?
(whoops, Connie beat me to it!)
Well, thanks everyone for your thoughts and advise, but we seem to be out of the woods.... The pup has been home and had no issues with eating or vommitting for three days. He's putting his weight back on quickly and is acting like his normal tormenting self. Again, thanks and lets hope it was something viral that is out of his system!! Thanks all!!
