My dog won't eat or drink, can't walk, and isn't moving. Is she sick?

Question

hi, my dog wont eat or drink anything. When she walked yesterday she could barely walk using her back legs, she just sat down. Now she is laying in an old dog house and has not moved since last night. It's a female boerboel cross with a rottweiler. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tessa. She will need to see her veterinarian today. She sounds very painful. Does she have a history of any joint disease such as arthritis? She could have exacerbated it on her walk yesterday. If not, she could be experiencing unrelated hip, knee or back pain. A lot of dogs will not eat if they are painful. If this does not seem to be the case, she could have an internal problem causing her inappetance and reluctance to move. Either way, her symptoms sound serious and need to be addressed. O hope this information helps!
