Why is my Jack Russell shaking, lethargic, not eating after a fall?

I'm sorry Harvey isn't feeling well at the moment! The heat could be making him lethargic, so I would keep him in a cool dark place during the day, and make sure he has access to plenty of fresh water. It could also be due to a systemic illness, infection, or inflammation, so I do think a full blood count would be a good idea just to make sure everything is ok. I will give you some resources that may help you afford this test below. For now, keep an eye on Harvey, and if he continues to be lethargic over the next 24-48 hours, or stops eating then I would have him seen by a vet again. I hope this helps! Afford a vet: You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Carefree Credit online. http://www.carefreecredit.co.uk https://www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/vetcare http://www.easipetcare.com

Poor Jackson! He could be shaking from pain, which would also cause him to be lethargic. At his age, it could be that he is suffering from arthritis. I would rest him tonight, and then have Jackson seen by a vet first thing tomorrow if he's still shaking and acting lethargic. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms, and can treat him for them.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Jack! Jack is obviously painful! Beagles commonly get slipped disks in their backs and suffer from back and neck pain. The symptoms you are describing occur with back or neck pain. It is best to have Jack seen by a Vet. I treat back pain with strict rest, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants and pain medications. I do not recommend starting human medications as they might interfere with your vet's choice of medications. I hope this helps and I wish Jack the best!

Poor Brownie! The good news is that his nose being cold and wet is not a sign of illness in dogs. A dog's nose can go from cold and wet to warm and dry simply by lying in the sun or next to a heat source. It is concerning, however, that he is not eating or drinking, and is shaking and laying around. It is serious when a dog won't drink water, and I would have Brownie seen by a vet right away. This not eating and drinking could be caused by a systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury. He could be shaking because he has a fever. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms, and can treat him for them. I would take him into a vet right away.

Please get Spike assessed by a vet as soon as possibelt o investigate and treat the source of the pain. Spinal/disk disease, injury and infections such as tooth abscesses would all be frequent causes of extreme pain in older dogs and the sooner treated the best chance of them making a full recovery

Shaking can be a sign of pain, fever, nausea or dehydration. If you haven’t had your dog examined by a vet since he ran away I think you should to make sure he isn’t painful or dehydrated. They can also take his temperature to make sure he doesn’t have a fever.

Poor Tigs! It definitely sounds like something is wrong. Unfortunately, these are very vague symptoms that could be caused by almost any kind of medical problem - shaking, acting lethargic, and not eating are generally signs of pain or discomfort, but beyond that he would need an exam and some diagnostic testing to determine what's wrong. I would recommend taking him to the vet today to be seen. He/she can do blood work, x-rays, or other testing if needed to help diagnose the problem.
