My dog can't stand up, is vomiting, and seems weak. What's wrong?

Poor Daisy sounds very ill at the moment, I would take her into the vet immediately. I see that she isn't spayed, and she could be suffering from a pyometra which is an infection of the uterus. A pyometra is fatal without treatment. She could also have a severe GI illness, pancreatitis, a foreign body, or may have eaten something rotten or toxic. Because I can't see her in person, I can't rule out a pyometra and those are medical emergency. The best thing to do is take her into a vet now. The vet can diagnose what is causing her symptoms and can treat her as needed. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Good luck!

All four legs or just two? Just weakness or paralysis? If it is just the back legs it could be hip dysplasia, a torn cruciate ligament, a dislocated hip a herniated disk in his back - just to name a few. If you are referring to all four legs this could be a muscle problem like myathenia gravis. It could be a nerve root tumor, herniated disk or any number of things. You need to get Millie to your vet for thorough orthopedic and neurological examinations to figure out what is going on with her. That way she can get the best treatment. I hope this helps. Best wishes.

It sounds like Millie is in pain. Please have her seen by a veterinarian immediately so they can assess her. Your vet may want to run diagnostic testing such as blood work to look for signs of infection (such as pancreatitis, which can cause diarrhea) or imaging such as x-rays to look for signs of injury.

Hello, I am very sorry to hear about Millie. I am concerned about the symptoms Millie is exhibiting and I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian. Lethargy and inappetance are nonspecific signs in dogs, meaning that they can be caused by many underlying conditions. Your veterinarian can perform an examination and discuss the need for other diagnostics such as systemic bloodwork and possibly X-rays to look for any signs of pneumonia or abnormalities within her abdomen. Hope this helps, good luck!

I would be very concerned about Bubbles, and take her into a vet immediately. I see that she isn't spayed, which means she can develop a life threatening infection of the uterus called a pyometra. A pyometra is fatal without treatment, and it causes vomiting, weakness, and lethargy, all signs she is showing. Without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain if she has one or not, but because of the seriousness of a pyometra I would take her into vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Oh no! It sounds like Lela is painful on her right hind leg and needs to be evaluated for an injury or wound. The vomiting and diarrhea could be related to what is going on with her leg or could be caused by something else. I would recommend you take her in to your vet to be evaluated. She may need anti-inflammatories or pain medication for her leg as well as anti-nausea medication and diarrhea medication for her intestinal tract. With vomiting and diarrhea I also get very concerned about dehydration, so she may need some fluid treatment as well to get her feeling better. Good luck! I hope Lela is feeling more like herself soon!

Those are definitely concerning symptoms that warrant getting her to the vet as soon as possible. If she's awake and alert, breathing normally, with pink gums like the picture, waiting until first thing tomorrow morning is likely ok, but I can't be sure something serious isn't going on from what you've described. The list of possible causes is long and varies from a minor soft tissue injury, to an orthopedic issue, or something life threatening like a twisted stomach or pyometra (very uncommon in spayed dogs).

I am so very sorry to hear about your dog. Based on your photos she looks severely emaciated and dehydrated, and possibly anemic (I can see her third eyelid in one photo and it looks quite pale). The possible causes are many and could include severe parasitism, infectious disease, autoimmune disease, organ failure, cancer, toxin exposure. Your dog needs veterinary attention right away if she is to survive, or to help her pass peacefully if you are unable to provide care for her. It sounds like she is suffering and she needs to be examined by a vet and have some testing done (such as stool testing and bloodwork to start) to try to determine why she is so ill. I wish you the best of luck with her.

Labored breathing and vomiting are very concerning signs. In an older, large-breed dog like your girl, I would be worried about bloat as a possible cause of her symptoms - this can be a life-threatening emergency, so needs to be treated right away. Many other things can also cause vomiting, including pancreatitis, liver or kidney disease, exposure to something toxic, or an intestinal obstruction. Based on your description, I would recommend taking her to the emergency vet tonight - she may have a serious problem that can't wait until morning.

It sounds as Mila is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet urgently, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
