Why is my dog hiding, not eating, and nipping? What should I do?

It does appear the Mia may be feeling it a bit off, but I wouldn't get too worried just yet. It could be the weather if it's warm where you are, so she could be generally unwell. Given that she did eat and had some water, I wouldn't take her into a vet just yet. Keep an eye on her over the weekend, and if she's still acting off on Monday, then have her seen by a vet on Monday. If she develops other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, stops eating, and/or stops drinking, then I would be worried and bring her into a vet sooner. I hope this helps and she feels better soon!

I am sorry that Mia isn’t feeling well. But yes, I agree that you should have her evaluated by a veterinarian. The symptoms you describe concern me about diabetes and kidney disease among other possibilities. I would not wait it out and she could become much more sick if not addressed soon. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Bonita! She is adorable! There are many reasons for panting, shaking and hiding. She could have been scared by something, have a fever or she could be painful. If she is not eating or drinking and this behavior continues I recommend that you take her to the Vet for an exam. If they find that she is painful they will prescribe appropriate medications for the condition they diagnose her with. I hope this helps and I wish Bonita a speedy recovery!

This can be a sign Coco is sick. While puppies can sleep a lot, it's serious that she isn't eating. This is something that has to be checked out by a vet now, and I would take her into one immediately.

Hello. I don't think Chlowie nipping you and how she is feeling now are related. Not wanting to eat could be due to gastrointestinal upset, bloat, or other illness. I would take her to the vet right away since she's weak and needs to be checked for infection or gastrointestinal issues.

Hi, I think Lola is not 100% if she is refusing to eat and just wanting to sit on your lap. I would recommend that you have her checked over as puppies are quite delicate and need to be eating regularly. She could have parasites or just a little temperature for example, it could be something quite simple but obviously that could cause her to feel poorly. Have her seen by your vet so that she can get any necessary treatment. Hope she gets better soon !

Hi there! I'm very sorry to hear about Kimi's troubles. If I had a client call and report the clinical signs you are describing, I'd ask to see the puppy right away. Young puppies, especially smaller ones, can be susceptible to getting a low blood sugar if they go a long time without eating. Not to mention that they can get dehydrated fairly easily as well. I'd definitely recommend Kimi go in to see her veterinarian right away. The veterinarian can perform an exam and check her hydration status. They may also want to check Kimi for an infection of some kind, and/or evaluate some diagnostics like radiographs and lab work. Kimi may need some in-hospital treatments or even just some medications for you to give at home. Things that can make puppies not feel well and stop eating include, but aren't limited to viruses, baceterial infections, ingesting toxic materials, ingesting pieces of toy or blanket and getting a blockage, eating anything out of the ordinary and getting indigestion, or even parasites. I hope you find this answer helpful. Best of luck!
