My dog is lethargic, unbalanced, not eating. Is it distemper?

From what you are describing, I suspect that she may have a distemper virus infection. This is a very serious disease that needs intensive treatment by a vet doctor. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done for this at home. She needs professional treatment soon, or I'm afraid she will not survive. I hope that helps and Bagheera gets treatment soon.

It could be Distemper, but for Halo's sake, I hope it isn't. Distemper often starts similarly to what you are describing and can quickly get worse. I understand that she may seem OK today, but that can quickly change with Distemper. If she becomes less active, or starts having seizures, then it's very important that she go to the vet for hospitalization in order to give her the best chance of recovering. There are some tests for distemper, but they are not always reliable. Therefore, even if Halo did get tested and showed positive for distemper, I would not call it a definitive diagnosis; but I would definitely treat her for distemper. If no test was done, then the diagnosis is not 100% and the cause of the sneezing and diarrhea is possibly due to some other infection. However, I'm sure the vets there have seen many cases of Distemper and may know of an outbreak at this time - which would go a long ways to support their diagnosis. I hope this helps and Halo gets better soon.

Poor Pocholo! It definitely sounds like he isn't feeling well for some reason. Unfortunately, these symptoms are very vague and could be caused by almost any type of illness or injury, so there's no way to say what might be wrong without being able to examine him. I would recommend taking him to the vet for a check-up as soon as you are able to - he/she can do some blood work or other testing if needed to help determine what's wrong and get him started on appropriate treatment for the problem.

Cookie sounds very ill at the moment. Her symptoms are non-specific and could be caused by a lot of different things such as GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, or a pyometra. I think she seems sick enough to see a vet now, and I strongly urge you to take her into one immediately. Best of luck.

Hi there. So sorry that Sara is not feeling well. Her symptoms are not specific for any one illness or disease process so it is hard for me to speculate as to what may be wrong. I can tell you however, that she is sick and she needs to be seen by a veterinarian for an examination. I am a bit worried that she could have a uterine infection since she is not spayed. If she is not up to date on her vaccinations she may have caught a viral disease like parvo or distemper. Those are just a few things that come to mind right away that might be going on. The bottom line is that she is ill and my suggestion is that you get her to your vet ASAP for an examination. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

It sounds like your dog is sick. The drooling can be due to nausea, and the lethargy, vomiting, anorexia, and diarrhea could be due to a severe GI illness, eating something rotten, pancreatitis, or a foreign body. I would take your dog into a vet right away for an exam, he sounds quite ill with all these symptoms, and he needs to be medically treated ASAP.

Those symptoms are very vague and could be attributed to almost any illness or disease process. You should take her to a vet for an exam if at all possible. She could have an upper respiratory infection, pneumonia, a virus (like distemper) or so many other possibilities. It is best to get a diagnosis from the vet and then treat her accordingly.
