My senior dog is throwing up, seizing, aggressive. How to see a vet?

Question

My 16 year old dog keeps throwing up and having seizures and im not to sure why. She also keeps trying to attack me and passing out for no real reason. Ive tried to take her to the vets but they say that she is far too aggressive and disruptive. Im very confused and are not sure what to do with her. She has also lost 10lb since last week and will only eat chicken in small amounts and will urinate only around 2 times a day and Poo around 1 times a day. Please give me some advice! Pet's info: Dog | Akita | Female | 36 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would contact the veterinarian again and ask if they can provide you with a sedative / anti-anxiety medication prior to coming in and then have you muzzle her prior to bringing her in. Medications such as Trazodone and amitriptyline together can help with the anxiety. She really needs to be seen by a veterinarian and have her blood tested to see if there are any abnormal systemic changes that could be causing the symptoms you are describing. With her age, I am concerned about something systemic that could be abnormal or cancer. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
