My dog is sneezing and shaking for 2-3 days. He also has runny nose. He stops eating and drinking today, and seems like very weak. He just lies down at the same place for the whole day without walking around. What is wrong with him? Should I take him to emergency?

Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.

This sign could be compatible with a severe upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or eventually to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed as systemic signs are present as well.

I am afraid your dog needs to be examined by a veterinarian as these signs are those of a more serious upper respiratory infection that will likely need and antibiotic and possibly a decongestant so your dog can breathe properly. Please take Alvin to a veterinarian tomorrow.
