Why is my dog not walking, just lying around, but still eating?

Since Beki is exhibiting a variety of symptoms (not eating and walking abnormally) I would recommend you take her to the veterinarian to be checked out. She could be suffering from back/spinal pain or abdominal pain from something like pancreatitis. A physical examination by your veterinarian will help determine the cause of her discomfort. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.

It sounds like your dog is uncomfortable or painful from some reason. He may have a back injury, a disc problem, or hip problem, or even abdominal pain. Your pet needs to be seen by your vet for an exam, bloodwork, and possibly x-rays to determine the cause for your pet's symptoms and get him stated on treatment.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tessa. She will need to see her veterinarian today. She sounds very painful. Does she have a history of any joint disease such as arthritis? She could have exacerbated it on her walk yesterday. If not, she could be experiencing unrelated hip, knee or back pain. A lot of dogs will not eat if they are painful. If this does not seem to be the case, she could have an internal problem causing her inappetance and reluctance to move. Either way, her symptoms sound serious and need to be addressed. O hope this information helps!

it sounds like she either hurt one of her front legs (and by lowering her head it puts less weight and pressure on the affected leg) or she has a slipped disk injury (cervical slipped disks can affect the head and the limbs at once). If you can't take her to an emergency center or out of hours services let her rest and minimize her movement as much as you can until you can get her to your vet.

Unfortunately these are very general signs of being unwell and it is not possible to tell you what might be wrong with your dog. However, the reluctance to walk and the fact that Ryder is nearly 13 years old, is a good indication that he may be suffering from serious arthritis which now is paining him so much that he cannot hide the pain anymore. This, of course, may also be the cause for not eating. You should make an appointment with your vet for an exam of his hips and legs, a small NSAIDs panel (blood work) and pain medication.

Poor Daisy Mae! This sounds like a very serious problem - she needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible, so please take her in today for an exam. It sounds like she may have a neurologic problem of some kind, but will need a full exam and potentially some diagnostic testing such as blood work and x-rays to help determine what's wrong.

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!
