My pug has a fever, drools, and won't eat. What should I do?

These signs may be compatible with a balance problem related to a vestibular disorder. Often middle ear problems are suspected in these cases. Of course other differentials are still possible, especially gastrointestinal inflammations. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.

Drooling can be a sign of nausea or pain. Since she threw up and and is now not drooling, I would monitor her for further changes. If the drooling returns or she continues to vomit then i would get her seen. Also watch her appetite and monitor her stool for any diarrhea.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Drooling can be a sign of nausea and this with a decreased activity level can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Rufus evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Hello. I am sorry to hear your pug isn't feeling well. If your dog is dull and lethargic, and not wanting to eat, it could be a sign of something stuck in her stomach or intestines, or a gastritis/pancreatitis. I would suggest having her seen by a veterinarian. Alternatively, you can cook her boneless, skinless, boiled chicken breast and some boiled rice. If she eats this and keeps it down, I would feed her small meals of this for a couple days, and see if she gets better. If she does then it was mild gastritis, but if she vomits or continues to be lethargic I would bring her to a vet right away.

I am sorry to hear he is not feeling well. I would highly encourage you to have a follow up appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible. Young puppies need nutrition and will Parrish quickly without it. Viral infections such as parvovirus can cause fever and inappetance as well as many other possibilities. Please him evaluated again, I am very concerned about him. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Hello, thank you for your question about Pogo. Based on the results attached and the evidence of jaundice I would be very concerned that Pogo is experiencing some kind of liver disease. There are many liver conditions that can lead to these signs such as infection, inflammation, gall stones, or cancer. If possible I would strongly urge you to have Pogo seen by a veterinarian that can perform an abdominal ultrasound. If this is not possible I would recommend having Pogo rechecked by your veterinarian and discussing antibiotics and other liver supportive medications. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I recommend that you take your dog to see a veterinarian. It sounds like he needs immediate care if he is not eating, he is lethargic and may have a fever. This sounds like a serious condition that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Your veterinarian will perform a full physical exam and determine what additional testing may need to be done (xrays, bloodwork) to give you a better idea of what treatments are needed. Good luck.
