My dog threw up moss, now twitching and not eating. What's wrong?

I would recommend taking him straight to an emergency clinic right away, and thinking about any toxins he may have been exposed to (rat or snail bait in your house or yard for example, cleaning supplies). It could be nothing, but it sounds like something that needs fully checked out right away.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Twitching and being unable to sleep is concerning for a possible toxin ingestion (moldy bread/cheese/food, snail bait, etc.), seizures, a problem in the brain, and sometimes they can get a condition where they twitch when they try to move. Not drinking water is concerning because it means that Jeannie is either unable to drink from the twitching, or feels nauseous and doesn't want to drink. I would recommend bringing her to a vet right away. They can give medications to help the twitching, and can also treat any dehydration with IV fluids. Best of luck with Jeannie, I hope she feels better soon!

I am so sorry that your pet ate moldy food. Mycotoxicosis can be mild or more severe depending on the amount ingested. In severe cases it can even lead to death. Severe signs can occur with dosages of 0.175 mg/kg PO. Death can occur with ingestion of 0.5 mg/kg PO. Early signs include restlessness, panting, hypersalivation, with or without vomiting. Mild to moderate muscle tremors develop and may progress to severe tremors, and/or seizures. I would highly recommend taking your pet to your local ER vet right away for detoxification, IV fluids, and supportive care to give her the best chance of survival.

I'm assuming Amy is a dog. Dogs will eat things like this when they are feeling nauseous, aren't getting enough to eat, or have a nutritional deficiency. Given that this is a new behavior, I would be suspicious that she is feeling nauseous, but she should have a heath check done by a vet to be sure. I would be careful about her eating those things, as moss can cause GI irritation and twigs can cause an obstruction and trauma to her GI tract.

Yes, you should be worried. He could have eaten something poisonous or possibly ingested something that either irritated his stomach or is causing an obstruction. Please get him to your vet for an exam as soon as you can.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am concerned that because he vomited so many times and had diarrhea, he could be very dehydrated. Also, mushrooms can result in liver toxicity in dogs that tends to be significant. Even if he vomited some of it, there is still likely some left in his system. I think it would be best to have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check some basic lab work to check for signs of liver toxicity and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a great day!

It sounds as your pet is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet urgently, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. . if the vet thinks it is more serious he will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
