French Bulldog puppy shivering, won't eat or drink. What's wrong?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 20 lbs

I have a Pure breed French bulldog, he looks like he’s shivering, his nose is dry and he won’t eat or drink, he’s only 9 months old so he’s still a baby, but do you think it’s just dehydration?

Leone will definitely become dehydrated if he refuses to drink water. It sounds like he is sick if he won't eat or drink, and is shivering. He needs to see a vet now. 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.
