Why is my dog not eating, peeing herself, and crying from back pain?

Hello, I am very sorry to hear about Millie. I am concerned about the symptoms Millie is exhibiting and I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian. Lethargy and inappetance are nonspecific signs in dogs, meaning that they can be caused by many underlying conditions. Your veterinarian can perform an examination and discuss the need for other diagnostics such as systemic bloodwork and possibly X-rays to look for any signs of pneumonia or abnormalities within her abdomen. Hope this helps, good luck!

I’m so sorry to hear about your pup! It sounds as though she could be in pain. I highly recommend seeing your vet to have a good evaluation done (back and neck pain are not always obvious). I would not give anything over the counter for pain until your vet has ruled out abdominal discomfort (aspirin,etc can make stomach conditions worse). Best of luck to you and your dog!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Mili. Unfortunately, there are many reasons that a dog will not eat. Pain and nausea are some of the most common causes. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian to determine the cause of her problem. In the meantime, you can try adding warm water to her kibble or offering canned food to try to entice her to eat. I hope this information helps!

I'm sorry that Millie isn't feeling well! The fact that she is unable to stand is very concerning and requires immediate veterinary attention. This loss of energy combined with vomiting can be an indication of a pyometra, or an infection of the uterus, which can make dogs very sick and potentially be life-threatening. Most towns/cities have emergency clinics which are open 24 hours/day. I hope all is well with Millie!

Poor Milo! He sounds quite ill at the moment, and his symptoms could be caused by a severe GI illness, liver disease, eating something rotten, a foreign body, kidney failure, or even cancer. It's best given his old age and his symptoms that he is seen by a vet as soon as possible for a physical exam, geriatric blood panel, urinalysis, and x-rays. These tests can help the vet diagnose what is causing his symptoms so treatment can be discussed and started.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Callie. Did she have diarrhea when she defecated today? If so, she could be experiencing abdominal pain. If not, then I worry that she has neck and/or back pain as this is common in small breed dogs. This can be excruciating and cause the dog to cry out. Most are hesitant to jump or do stairs. They will stand or walk with a hunched posture. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian today. She will be examined and the source of her problem located. Based on these results, the veterinarian may recommend testing such as blood work and x-rays. This information will guide treatment. In the meantime, keep her quiet and do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Snoopy. It does not sound like she is feeling well and will need to see a veterinarian if her symptoms persist. I worry that she is experiencing pain with her crying. Small breed dogs can be prone to neck or back pain. The muscles lining the spine can spasm in response to inflammation within the spine. In this case, she would need medications to control her pain. Be sure to keep her quiet in the meantime and do not give any over-the-counter pain medications. Encourage her to eat and drink if you can. I hope this information helps!
