My 10 year old dog is sick. Please tell me what you think.?

people can be so rude on here.take care

I would highly recommend switching leashes. Dogs that pull will only get worse on a retractable leash. Not only do they always have a slight tension (meaning that to move ahead they MUST pull to a degree, but also the dog will never learn an esact length og leash. I would suggest that it's usually best to get a 6ft lead with a walking loop (meaning that there is an extra loop for you to switch to that is at the 2ft point for more control. Also, I would focus on training sit stays to have the dog focused on you while a distraction goes by (carry tiny bits of bacon if you have to). Try switching sides if the road, or moving onto a lawn while others pass by for now. Work with the leash in the back yard and switch directions every time your dog stretches past you with an encouraging "this way, let's go!" Please remember that throat restriction gets a different reaction from our canine companions. Their necks and throats are much stronger than ours and the tend to pull harder thinking they will move past the restriction (we would back off, of course). That's why they use chokers to train sled dogs. Hope this helps a little. BTW Anyone other than a child looking at the situation should be able to tell that you are trying to rein in an excited dog. Once he/she is more adjusted to some good manners your life will get easier.

Sounds like your dog is sick. Take her to the vet. Same thing happened to my dog last month. Brown vomit, not getting up, not eating, drinking little water. Took him to the vet- had some tests done, he got some antibiotics and pain killers.

Your pup's probably just sick and feels crappy- take her to the vet though, just to be safe, and let them do the blood tests.

Had the carpet cleaners over yesterday, the puke stains did not come out from my beige berber carpet!

The cleaner said club soda or any kind of carbonated water on the vomit will most likely get the stain out. Pick up the chunks (as much as you can) shake up the soda a bit, pour on stain, with a towel, work from the outside in.

I know carpet cleaning is not about your pup, but I just wanted to let you know...

I hope your girl gets better!

Did you feed her regular dog food or table scraps? Think back those days when she started to get sick. What did she have to eat? Did she eat something from outside? Because some dogs will eat something that was on the ground when they go out to potty. Does she go out by herself? It sounds like she might be getting rabbi's. Might!! A dog I use to have did the same thing and come to find out she was bitten by a rat and got rabbi's. I had to put her down. Hope you don't have to do that. But just in case, take her to the vet for blood work. Good Luck! And I hope she gets to feeling better.

If you use to work for a vet which I really doubt then you should know to take her and have her looked at right away. This is not a hateful answer just a word of advice. Get her to the vet now.

Sorry, I am not being 'hateful' but if you were a vet nurse, how could you possibly leave this dog as it is for 3 or 4 days. Thats too long. Of course she is sick, sounds like some form of poisoning to me. Please take her to the vet . NOW.

Vets are tooo expensive, I agree.

First, it could be poisoning or she could have a blockage. My dog had eaten a corn cob..lost weight, would not eat, could not drink, threw up the second he tried to eat...because the food could not get past the blockage. It cost me about 2,000 to fix him up after all was said and done. So my advice is to brace yourself, be sure you know your financial limits and options, folks who can help, the most affordable vet etc.

I just hope for the dogs sake you haven't waited too long to get her to a vet.

Plz take her to the vet right away!

im sorry to hear your dog is sick it sounds to me she might have eaten something she shouldnt have. i wouldnt hesitate a moment longer your dog desperatly needs to see a vet.hope everything works out ok.

maybey she got food pisioning. the best thing you can do is go to the vet.
