This is pretty serious and tells me that she is quite sick. There are a number of things that could cause this and without seeing her in person, I can't say what is causing it. I would consider her symptoms a medical emergency, and you must take her into a vet now.

My West Highland White Terrier has Addisons. She is now 9 years old and has been on Florinef for approximately 7 years. Periodically she has episodes where typically she gets up very early in the morning with a rumbling tummy, goes outside and eats l
Given the progression of her symptoms I recommend you get her reassessed by your vet to determine the underlying cause; unstable addisons, pancreatitis, kidney/liver disease and dietary sensitivities can all cause intermittent vomiting and can all be managed once diagnosed accurately. Your vet will likely want to run blood tests to assess what is going on and diet manipulation a change in her regular prescription may be required

My pet dog is not eating anything...she is vomiting and pooping...Her urine colour is dark yellow.....she is even shivering.I want to know what is she suffering from?
Poor girl! It sounds like Binny is very dehydrated. Because there are so many causes of vomiting, diarrhea, and inappetance in dogs it's impossible to say what one thing might be causing this. She could have an intestinal obstruction, cancer, GI parasites, a food sensitivity, infection, endocrine disease, kidney disease, liver disease, or toxin exposure (among other things). Binny's signs are very concerning to me and she needs to be examined by a veterinarian right away. She may need blood tests and X-rays to diagnose her. The sooner treatment is started the better her chances for a recovery. Thanks for using Boop by Petco and I hope Binny gets the care she needs and is feeling better soon!

My dog threw up last night and today, while playing outside, randomly fell and stared crying. Since then, she is very lethargic, was shaking for a bit, walks slowly with her tail between her legs and yelps when I pick her up. She’s eating and drinkin
I’m sorry that Addie isn’t feeling well! Her vomiting episode and lethargy may be an indication that she is in pain - this may be caused by an internal issue such as pancreatitis or intestinal upset or she may have injured herself. If you are concerned and believe that Addie should be seen by an emergency vet, there are usually clinics in most towns open 24 hours. In most cases, the sooner an animal is seen, the better the prognosis for a recovery. If you choose to monitor Addie at home, I recommend looking out for additional vomiting, loss of appetite, or worsening lethargy. I am also happy to answer any other questions you may have and discuss what is going on with you.

My dog has been throwing up and has had uncontrollable diarrhea that’s black. Sometimes I see blood but more times I don’t. She’s older and I’ve been really worried. What should I do? Won’t drink or eat anything but did eat a few treats
That sounds serious. I recommend to take Shelby into the veterinarian right away. Black stool can indicate bleeding in the upper GI system. There are many causes: parasites, liver disease, severe inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, cancer, or a severe GI ulcer. The doctor will need to run bloodwork and a fecal sample to look for parasites. There are also additional diagnostics that they may recommend. Medications are indicated and likely a bland diet. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction. Best of luck.

Those symptoms are severe by all means , Bella is obviously very sick, you need to take her to the vet today, she will need to be checked and might need a blood test or xray in order to diagnose her condition. It could be a severe infection, an internal disease or a foreign body in the stomach.

Why is my dog drooling a bit,has a runny nose,lethargy,loss of appetite,vomiting,watery poop(no bloods)
It sounds like your dog is sick. The drooling can be due to nausea, and the lethargy, vomiting, anorexia, and diarrhea could be due to a severe GI illness, eating something rotten, pancreatitis, or a foreign body. I would take your dog into a vet right away for an exam, he sounds quite ill with all these symptoms, and he needs to be medically treated ASAP.

My dog is experiencing loss of appetite, she isn’t drinking, she has a lack of energy, and has not been pooping regularly.
Gemini needs to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. These are all very non-specific signs, but she could be dealing with an infection, an endocrine or autoimmune disease, trauma or environmental stress leading to behavioural issues. Your vet may want to run bloodwork and check her urine for any signs of illness, and may recommend imaging such as x-rays to help determine the cause. In the meantime, if she is not eating well, you can try boiling boneless skinless chicken in water, shredding the chicken, and feeding her small amounts of the resulting chicken broth and cooked chicken once it has cooled. This is not a balanced diet, but is okay for a couple of days to help encourage her to eat. You can add in some plain boiled white rice or potatoes as well if you like.

Hello my dog hasn't ate since last Saturday .she refuses to eat, and idk if she is puking blood or popping it. She has a bad couch also
It's quite serious that Sara hasn't eaten since last Saturday, and it's also serious that she may be pooping and/or vomiting blood. She has to see a vet immediately. She could have a foreign body, may have gotten into something toxic, or could be suffering from hemorrhagic gastroenteritis among other causes. Her symptoms are a medical emergency, please take Sara into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now.

Annie could have a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or could have pancreatitis among other causes. She sounds very sick and this cannot be treated at home. You need to take her into a vet immediately.

My boyfriends dog has been throwing up consrantly for two days and today she isnt eating or drinking if she dose she throws it all back up and she hasnt used the bathroom whats wrong with her?
Lola sounds very sick. I see she isn't spayed, and she could have a pyometra causing her symptoms. A pyometra is an infection of the uterus that is fatal without treatment. This cannot be treated at home, she has to see a vet immediately.
