Oh goodness. I am sorry Junior is so sick. There can be multiple problems causing the signs you are seeing. Intestinal obstruction, pyometra (uterine infection), liver or kidney disease just to name a few. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated again by your veterinarian. At this point I would say that x-rays and blood work are very important to make a diagnosis. If she is this sick it could be life threatening without proper diagnosis and treatment. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
