My dog has been home for over a week and barely eats, only drinking water – what could be wrong?

Foaming and a bloated belly may come from poisoning, internal parasites, gut blockage, or a viral infection - all serious.

My dog foams at the mouth, runs around crashing into things, and ignores me when called, then recovers after a while; it had a seizure a week ago
