My dog won’t eat; after drinking a little sugar water it kept vomiting, is weak, now just lies on the floor listless, and tucks its tail between its legs.
Expert Answer
Hello, based on your description, the dog already shows symptoms such as limb weakness, listlessness, and loss of appetite, which are often a chain reaction of complications from a serious illness; it may already be dehydrated to the point of shock, and at this point it needs intravenous fluids as soon as possible to restore blood volume. However, because the dog’s condition is relatively complex and varied, and without knowing the onset process, diet, physical traits, medical history, and vaccination and deworming history, it is hard to judge the cause without a detailed consultation, clinical examination, and lab tests.
It is recommended to take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly for the relevant examinations, and formulate a treatment plan based on the results.
