My dog is 6.5 years old. Two nights ago after a normal meal it cried for water at midnight and drank four bowls, then the next day started vomiting, stood unsteadily with its tail tucked, and seemed about to collapse, not eating or drinking for two days. Now it exhales heavily and lies motionless – this has lasted a day and night. What should I do?
If from overeating, use probiotics and an antiemetic; if no improvement, it may be more than gas - see a vet for imaging. Gentle belly rubs help at home.
