My dog is thin, won't eat, has pale gums, and collapsed. What's wrong?

Question

Hi, my 3yrs old dog is rejecting his food and became very thin, with skin allergy with bad smell. And one time he collapsed and peed on the floor unable to get up for a minute, and his gums is pale as white. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Chow Chow | Male | 3 years and 7 months old | 20 lbs

I hate to hear that about Kiwee. He is very sick and needs to see a veterinarian. The pale gums are very concerning for internal bleeding, very low blood pressure or a bone marrow suppression. All of these are serious and require immediate care that only a veterinarian at a clinic will be able to treat. He could have been poisoned, have liver disease, an autoimmune disease or have a severe blood parasite infection. Best of luck and I hope this is helpful. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
