My dog is sleeping a lot and not eating. What's wrong with him?

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Kobe. Sounds like he needs to be evaluated again. Many things could be going on including intestinal worms, infection, a foreign body, pancreatitis, etc. Your vet can evaluate Kobe and then recommend some tests such as a fecal exam, blood work, and possibly x-rays to determine what is wrong. Good luck and I wish you the best with Kobe

I am not sure. It isn't typical of any specific disease process. I would recommend that you continue to monitor Kobe's behavior, appetite, urination/defecation, etc. If he continues to act abnormally it is a good idea to have him examined by a vet. The temperature or moisture level of the nose doesn't mean much to us vets! Just depends on if the air is warm or cold and how long it has been since they licked their nose!

Kobe sounds extremely ill if he's been urinating blood for a week, was throwing up, and has stopped eating. He also sounds very lethargic if he's sleeping a lot. He has to see a vet immediately, he definitely needs veterinary care right away. There is nothing you can do for him at home. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

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.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If Coby is lethargic and not feeling well, I would have him examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. He may be dealing with an infection or have something else going on that needs to be diagnosed by a vet. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Boy. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian today as I am concerned that he is ill. If he is refusing to eat and is only sleeping, this is worrisome behavior in a puppy. Depending on his exam findings, his veterinarian will direct you as far as necessary diagnostics and treatment options. In the meantime, continue to offer him water to try to prevent dehydration. Do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!

Hi there! I'm very sorry to hear about Kimi's troubles. If I had a client call and report the clinical signs you are describing, I'd ask to see the puppy right away. Young puppies, especially smaller ones, can be susceptible to getting a low blood sugar if they go a long time without eating. Not to mention that they can get dehydrated fairly easily as well. I'd definitely recommend Kimi go in to see her veterinarian right away. The veterinarian can perform an exam and check her hydration status. They may also want to check Kimi for an infection of some kind, and/or evaluate some diagnostics like radiographs and lab work. Kimi may need some in-hospital treatments or even just some medications for you to give at home. Things that can make puppies not feel well and stop eating include, but aren't limited to viruses, baceterial infections, ingesting toxic materials, ingesting pieces of toy or blanket and getting a blockage, eating anything out of the ordinary and getting indigestion, or even parasites. I hope you find this answer helpful. Best of luck!
