Why is my new rescue dog not eating, coughing, and having diarrhea?

Cough can be caused by an infection, heart problem or lung condition, it is important to first know the cause before treating it as treatment is different from condition to another. The most common disease causing cough is a viral/bacterial infection called Kennel cough, this disease usually resolves without treatment within a couple weeks but if the cough is too severe it is recommended to go to the vet in order to get cough medicine and antibiotics.

There are many possible causes of coughing and gagging and i recommend an urgent check up given the weight loss also. Pneumonia, nose and throat issues, heart disease and stomach problems could all contribute

Poor Baby! I am sorry she isn't feeling good. The symptoms you have mentioned make me concerned that Baby may have some sort of respiratory issue-kennel cough, pneumonia. I would recommend contacting your regular vet and arrange for her to be seen today. Advise them she has just come from a shelter situation, as repsiratory diseases can be quite contagious. They will likely ask for you to keep Baby in the car until they are ready to bring her into an exam room. Your vet will do a thorough exam, listen to Baby's heart and lungs. They may recommend some diagnostics such as X-rays and bloodwork too. Depending on the issues identified treatment may range (assuming it is a respiratory issue) from oral medications and rest at home, to hospitalization with IV fluids, oxygen therapy and injectable medications. I hope Baby starts to feel better soon!

Congrats on your new dog, but I'm sorry Shino is sick! It could be that he may have kennel cough causing his symptoms. He may be up to date on his vaccines but he may not be vaccinated for kennel cough. I would have Shino seen by a vet first thing in the morning for this. While kennel cough is self limiting, his symptoms may be helped with medication. I can give you some stuff for at home that can do for him in conduction with medication from the vet. Any dog with kennel cough should be isolated for at least two weeks, possibly longer depending on the severity of the infection. Keep your dog in a well-humidified area, and use a harness instead of a collar to minimize coughing. Rest your dog for at least seven days to minimize irritation of the airways caused by excessive coughing. You can bring your dog into the bathroom with you while you have a shower, as the steam may help with the respiratory irritation. I hope this helps, have Shino seen by a vet tomorrow!

This is suspicious of kennel cough, which is an infection of the upper respiratory system. The throwing up when coughing is normally seen when dogs have a bad cough like this. A dry nose versus wet nose actually does not a indicate a specific problem. Kennel cough is most suspicious if Chance has been in contact with other dogs in the past month or so. If Chance has not had contact with other dogs, then the cough is likely due to something else. They can develop a cough with more concerning conditions like pneumonia, heart worm, heart disease and cancer. For this reason, it's best to have Chance checked out by a veterinarian soon. They will be able to determine the cause of the cough and prescribe the appropriate treatment. If Chance came from a shelter, then they often offer a free vet exam within a couple of weeks after adoption. I hope that helps and Chance gets better soon.

Congrats on your new dog, but I'm sorry Scruffy is sick! It could be he is cuffing from kennel cough, which is a highly contagious respiratory disease. I'd have him checked out by a vet for this either today or tomorrow. Rest him, only taking him out to potty and bringing him right back in when he's done. Best of luck.

Assuming he has been vaccinated for distemper, It sounds as Hudson 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 the first chance you get, 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. The fur loss is likely unrelated, it is to be expected though as it's getting warmer and he is changing his puppy coat to a permanent one.
