Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 30 lbs

My dog is spitting white/clear saliva and I think he might have killed a toad bad thing is I came home and my parents told me he has been like this for the past week. He isn't eating he is hardly drinking water and is stiff in up alot. His eyes go side ways and he can't open his mouth. There is no vet around my living area what do to?

I'm sorry to hear Wero isn't feeling well. Because he's not eating and drinking while spitting up, I worry that he will become dehydrated. He really need to see a vet for an exam and blood work. If his eyes are going side to side he could have what's called Vestibular disease which is inflammation of a nerve inside the ear. If so, there is no treatment for it, he just needs time. Offer him to watered down canned dog food to see if he can lap up the food for strength. You may try using a syringe to offer it. I'm sorry I can't offer more help. Good luck and kisses to Wero!
