My dog drinks, pees a lot, lost weight, and is throwing up. Help!

I would recommend having your dog seen as soon as possible if her symptoms are not improving tomorrow, even if this means taking her in to another vet or an emergency vet. Diseases we worry about with these symptoms include Cushings Disease (where the adrenal glands produce too much steroids), diabetes, kidney disease and liver disease. Some of these conditions can worsen quickly and become life threatening so having her examined and having bloodwork and urinalysis done as soon as possible to determine the underlying cause is the safest way to proceed.

Hi there. I'm sorry Bubba is having this issue. It sounds like Bubba needs to be seen by a vet immediately. You should take him to an emergency clinic right away if your regular veterinarian is not open. With the limited information you provided regarding his symptoms I cannot tell you exactly what is going on with him but it sounds like he could have anything from a toxicity to complications from diabetes or liver disease. Regardless of what the underlying cause is he needs immediate attention and it is not recommended that you wait. I hope this helps. Best wishes to you and Bubba. Dr. Amber

He may have a severe infection (bacterial, parasites, etc.), malabsorption/maldigestion issues, kidney disease or "simple" malnutrition. There may be multiple reasons for his poor condition. He really needs to be seen by a veterinarian for a physical exam and diagnostics. Hospitalization may be necessary to provide supportive care. Please do not delay and have Jonny seen today.

Hello, I’m sorry to hear about Baboo. Based on the symptoms you are describing it sounds like Baboo is quite sick and should be seen by a veterinarian. Vomiting and diarrhea are nonspecific symptoms that can be a sign of many underlying diseases, such as problems within the GI tract (ingestion of foreign material, etc) or systemic problems (liver or kidney disease, pancreatitis, etc). Your veterinarian can examine Baboo and then discuss additional diagnostics such as systemic bloodwork and possibly X-rays. Hope this helps, good luck!

It sounds like Suzi needs to visit a vet for an examination and work-up. Drinking more water can be a sign of kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, Cushing's disease, etc. Your vet can run some lab-work to diagnose and then determine the best way to treat. Please call your vet and have her seen as there really isn't anything you can do at home without some veterinary care.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lucky. His increased thirst and urination are worrisome. He needs to see his veterinarian for an examination as well as blood work and a urinalysis. His weight loss can be documented as well. I worry that he has developed diabetes as this can be common in his breed. Other causes of his symptoms could include kidney disease, liver problems or an adrenal gland disorder. Once the cause of his symptoms is discovered, treatment can be started. If one of these diseases goes untreated, then the condition can worsen and severe complications can develop. He should be seen sooner rather than later. In the meantime, do not deny him access to water. I hope this information helps!

Poor guy. You absolutely need to get some testing done on this guy. I would start with some bloodwork and x-rays to evaluate his organs and intestines for abnormalities. Then go from there depending on the results. There could be a number of things going on here including: pancreas issues, an intestinal problem, kidney disease, etc. So many disease can cause these symptoms, which is why it is so important to start off with some diagnostic testing to narrow things down. Once we know what the underlying problem is, then we will know how to best help Khan moving forward. I do hope that Khan is able to stabilize soon! Best of luck and take care.
