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. She also does not want to drink water or any liquid. Seems like she's afraid of it. Thank You.

I am sorry to hear Chai is not feeling well. Unfortunately, many things could cause these symptoms (bacterial, viral, foreign object, and toxins are a few). I would strongly recommend taking Chai to a veterinarian due to the severity of her illness. My concern is her vomiting and not drinking water with a fever. This combination can cause dehydration. Dehydration does need to be addressed by a veterinarian.
