Question

Hi my dog is about 12 or 13 years old and she isn't eating or drinking. She's a yorkie. She has a hard mass in her stomach. her vet isn't open today. What should I do. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female

You will have to take Willow to a PetER now. Not eating and drinking and a hard abdomen points to a so-called acute abdomen. The vet will need to do x-rays, and likely blood tests to find the cause and decide on a course of treatment to alleviate tha abdominal pain and get him to eat and drink again. Willow will likely need fluids as well to combat dehydration.
