My dog has a fever, is vomiting, and won't eat. What should I do?

Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Female

Hello. I would just like to ask if what is the illness of my dog if she has completely lost her appetite, has fever, not active (always lying), and is vomiting. It is almost a day now and she has vomited for atleast 6 times. There are some yellow and white color when she vomited. It would be a great help if you lend us your knowledge about this thing. We don't have a vet in our place and we also lack money. Please we have lost our last dog and we don't want to happen that again. Thank You.

Based on the symptoms you have outlined, I would guess that Chai most likely has some sort of infection somewhere within the body. Given that there is some vomiting, a reasonable assumption would be somewhere within the digestive tract, liver, or pancreas. Only blood work would provide us with enough information to at least point us in one direction or another. Chai is going to require some medications to address the vomiting and fever, as well as some fluids most likely to correct any dehydration that is taking place. If there is an infection somewhere within the body, at least one antimicrobial drug will be required to clear things up. I don't know about the Philippines, but in USA most of the drugs that will be required to help Chai are prescription only, meaning you will have to find a veterinarian to help you. Some other possibilities other than an infection would include organ failure, an endocrine condition called Addison's disease, and even cancer. Let me know if I can assist you further in this matter.
