All 3 of my dogs are sick after recent move ?
We recently moved and all of my dogs have been lethargic and not eating as much as usual which I expected but two of the three have been vomitting lately. No blood in stools or vomit, but still it is making me very concerned. Is it just related to nerves and new place and how hot it’s been lately? They are indoor dogs so I know they haven’t been poisoned or gotten into any plants or other food to make them sick.
Give it two more weeks if things do not seem to improve take them to the vet. It could very well be nerves becuase of the change but it could alose be something serious. I say two more weeks just to give them time to settle but if any signs get worse or new symtoms develp contact your vet.

Someone may have treated the home or yard with a kind of bug poison that is making the dogs sick. It could also be new paint fumes or some sort of gas leak you haven’t noticed yet but dogs, being smaller and closer to the ground, are more susceptible to.
Certainly have your utility company come out *right away* and see if they can find a leak or radon gas or something. If it is making the dogs sick now, it may soon be making your whole family very sick, too.
Another possibility is contaminated food. Some feed and pet stores aren’t very careful about how they treat the premises for insects, mice, etc. and the poisons can penetrate the pet food sacks. If you bought new food shortly after moving, replace it and see if that helps.
But please have the utility company check right away, too. Radon can kill all of you.

I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but these are similar signs of parvo. Are your dogs all up to date on their shots? If not, you may want to go the vet asap as parvo is a deadly and fast killing disease. When parvo is present it contaminates the area (yard or house) for up to six years and can be picked up by animals during those six years. The sooner they are treated for it the better there chances of survival. They will get treated and, if they make it through it, they will have a lifelong immunity to it after wards. (they will not get it again)
