My dog is very sick, vomiting, not eating, and in pain. Is she dying?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Female | spayed | 8 years and 2 months old

My dog, Susy (bulldog);she was sick a few months ago, she had an infection in her whole body, the vet said it happened because she never had babies.She was so bad those days, the vet gave her a 50/50 life expectancy, and after they extract her all her utero, she got better.But now, two days ago, she got sick out of nowhere, she threw up all her food, she's barely moving and there's infection in her eyes, she's noteating anything and i know she's in pain.I don't know if she'll be able to survive,

Unfortunately I’m not sure if Susy will be okay either. It sounds like she had a septic uterine infection, and if she completely recovered her current symptoms may or may not be related. It also sounds like Susy is very sick and from the symptoms you’re describing I doubt she would suddenly feel better without veterinary care. I think you need to see a vet - they can at the very least perform a physical exam and let you know how serious her condition may be. If she is in pain and suffering euthanasia may be something to consider.

    You really need to take Susy back to the vet for an exam. She just may have a gastro-intestinal infection. Your vet can find out what is wrong with her and give her medications to make her feel better, pain medicine as well as antibiotics if needed and fluids. 8 years is not that old, so she is probably not dying! Take her to a veterinarian today.
