What happens if a dog gets extremely hungry?
Extreme hunger brings weakness, stumbling, restlessness, chewing objects, and even lethargy or coma. A starving dog may bolt food and trigger acute gastroenteritis (diarrhea, bloat, vomiting, pain). Long-term starvation causes malnutrition, weakened immunity, organ failure, and can be life-threatening.
My dog hasn’t eaten for four days and vomits up anything forced in within minutes, even water; its nose is very dry
Not eating for four days with vomiting water may be acute gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or viral disease; prolonged fasting causes electrolyte imbalance and dehydration, life-threatening. Take to vet for IV fluids to stabilize. Get blood, imaging, biochemistry to tell if simple digestive issue or high-risk disease (distemper, parvovirus), then treat.
What causes weakness in a dog’s limbs?
Limb weakness can come from nutrient deficiency, injury, viral infection, acute gastroenteritis, or acute kidney failure. Low calcium or vitamins cause inability to stand; ligament sprains, twists, or fractures hinder standing; distemper, parvovirus, and acute conditions also cause it. See a vet if it persists.
What happens if a dog eats too many peaches?
Eating too many peaches can cause indigestion in dogs, leading to diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, and may even trigger acute gastroenteritis. Peaches are high in sugar, so dogs with hyperglycemia risk blood sugar spikes and pancreatic complications. Some dogs may also have allergic reactions such as skin swelling, breathing difficulty, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Dog vomits white foam and yellow fluid with undigested kibble, won’t eat or drink, only sleeps
This is usually acute gastroenteritis, possibly from parvovirus, coronavirus, bacteria, or parasites. Unvaccinated dogs should be tested for viral disease. If just digestive upset, give fluids for hydration and electrolytes, then anti-inflammatory, anti-vomiting, and anti-diarrhea meds.
My one-month puppy won’t eat, vomits white foam, and is lethargic.
