And now my dog that hasn't been getting much attention and has now started throwing up and withdrawing from us .. But we've only had the dog for 2 days. Advice or diagnosis?
Pay the same amount of attention to each dog and play with them together. Dont play with one and not the other otherwise you are creating jelousy. If you dog persist throwing up consult a vet.
Hope that helped goodluck:)
Bringing a new pet into your home can be stressful. Dogs can also be sensitive to their status in your "pack" so to speak. If dog 1 feels its being knocked down a level in you pack that can be stressful. Something as simple as feeding the new dog first and paying the new dog a lot of attention can cause this. If the first dog is old being around a younger dog can make them grouchy or stressed too. So just pay attention to how they interact with each other.
If they aren't being a aggressive with each other or having issues getting along your dog could just not be feeling well. Also pay attention to eating habits with more than one dog. If your dog is eating its food faster than normal to keep it away from the new dog that can cause some stomach issues. To help this you could keep them separated while they eat and if they eat dry food add a little water to hard food to aide with digestion.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com Most likely it is just a little stressful adjusting but these issue should settle themselves. If they don't and and the dog keeps throwing up and possibly dehydrated you may need to take him to the vet.
Antonio. You were just adopted and no one paid you any mind to you. How would you feel about that? imagine what your dog must feel. Dogs are a very social-able animal that need to interact with people. The diagnosis is simple, play with the dog, interact with it. Why did you even get a dog if you're not going to interact with it? People like you piss me off! What is the purpose of getting the dog if you're going to ignore its needs and wants? It really shocks me with your indifference toward the animal, please give it away to some one that can care for it. You might as well have bought a stuffed dog toy. Believe me, you're not ready for having a dog, as you have no idea of what a dog needs. I am serious, give the dog to someone that knows how to care for it. I am sure that there are many others that will agree with me on this. You're not ready to take the responsibilty of caring for a dog and that is a fact! If I knew who you were, I'd file a complaint against you for animal abuse!

Sounds like stress.
However, if your dog won't stop vomiting, as in, it can't keep it's food or water down, you need to get it to the vets. Which kind of sucks, 'cause it's sunday: (
Try getting them out of the house for a walk together maybe ... that might settle things down. Your old dog needs to be properly introduced to it's new pack mate.
Consult your vet.
