Previously the dog ate a chicken a day; for the past month eats very little and is very low; do not know why
Causes of a German Shepherd's anorexia and low mood include indigestion, parasites, and monotonous diet. Long-term greasy meat burdens the gut.
My 3-year-old female dog had a litter this year; I kept one pup, now she is anorexic, thin, irritable, and distant – is it the puppy
Poor appetite, weight loss, and irritability may be psychological or disease-related. Since mother and pup were separated long ago, a sudden change now is unlikely; watch for illness like parasites or pyometra/ovarian cysts. Improve her environment, give more company and warmth, and see a vet if no improvement.
My dog suddenly stopped coming home, lay outside, hasn’t eaten for 3 days, now has bloody stool and is weak and cold
Blood in stool and anorexia can be poisoning, parasites, or viral disease, but by day 3 it's past the time for induced vomiting, so don't induce. Best to go to a vet; if not, warm it, give glucose-saline, pet antibiotics (amox-clav, bismuth) and probiotics. Tomato-soup-like stool suggests viral infection needing interferon and parvo monoclonal; puppy viral mortality is high, so hospitalization is better.
What are the benefits of chicken breast for dogs

My dog passed jelly-like blood two hours after deworming, about twice overnight, small amount
Blood in the stool after deworming may mean the drug irritated the gut; if the dog is otherwise normal it usually recovers in 2-3 days on soft food. Severe or persistent symptoms could indicate enteritis from parasites and need a vet.
Yesterday dog vomited food, normal poop then one loose then normal; low spirits, not eating
Vomiting food with a bout of diarrhea may be indigestion (overeating, fast eating, greasy food). Adjust to light digestible food, fixed portions. Add probiotics (syringe if refused). Observe 2-3 days; if recurs, check for chronic enteritis, pancreatitis, parasites, parvo.
How to treat a dog’s bloody stool
Treat bloody stool by first easing diarrhea with antibiotics and probiotics, then targeted deworming for parasites. Hemorrhagic enteritis needs fluids and meds; parvo, corona, or distemper need a vet.
My three-month-old dog has soft stools, then suddenly worsened, vomited a worm, and now keeps vomiting and won’t move
Vomiting and diarrhea with worms indicates intestinal parasite infection causing acute gastroenteritis. Because the dog is vomiting severely, seek veterinary care for an antiemetic injection and fluids before oral medication.
