My dog suddenly lost appetite, is listless, arches its back, and has weak hind legs, but doesn’t yelp and lets me touch it; its limbs sometimes tremble
These signs mainly suggest pancreatic inflammation, lumbar injury, or joint problems. Get a detailed vet exam; untreated spinal damage or neuritis could lead to paralysis.
My dog has been like this for three months: licking its joint, licked the fur off and it bleeds, body twitches, occasionally whimpers, walks with a limp and doesn’t want to. Sleep, appetite, and bathroom are all normal.
Limping with constant joint licking likely means arthritis, sprain, or fracture; X-ray to confirm, and use a cone to stop licking. Arthritis needs a pain shot and NSAIDs; oral glucosamine, chondroitin, and joint supplements help.
How is a dog’s appetite when it’s losing its adult molars?
During molar replacement, appetite may drop—deciduous teeth fall, new ones grow, and gums itch, swell, or hurt, making chewing hard. Soak kibble or use small kibble to ease chewing. Ensure plenty of water for oral hygiene and to prevent gingivitis.
My Dog Is Shaking, Sometimes Having Seizures, with Yellowish Urine—Appetite Is Fine and Stools Are Normal

Is the Dogo Argentino suitable as a pet?
Dogo Argentinos are very loyal to owners, wary of strangers, adaptable, and athletic—good as hunting or guard dogs but not ideal pets. They're large (up to 70 cm, ~40 kg), unsuited to city apartments. They're also quite aggressive and banned in many parts of China, so check local laws and train them early.
What happens if you hit a pet dog?
Frequent hitting breaks trust and causes fear, hiding, or even defensive aggression, plus insecurity around others. Train with positive reinforcement instead.
My dog has vomited for three days, yellow fluid on days one and three and undigested kibble on day two. The vet said it looked fine and sent us home with medicine; day one of meds no vomit, but today (day two) it threw up kibble again. It has appetite, good spirits, normal stools, wet nose, no fever. What could it be?
Vomiting yellow fluid and undigested food suggests dietary upset or gastroenteritis; feed soaked hypoallergenic kibble in small frequent meals and nothing else. If it continues, get fecal, blood, and imaging tests.
