My dog wont eat or drink, listless, lazy and bloated. cant afford vet, what to do.

How long has it been sense he ate any food, drank any water?

Has he eaten ANY rawhide type chews recently?

What is his temperature?

oops, SINCE he ate.
Also, what is his age?

How old is he?

does he have any symptoms of worm infestation?

Has your dog been wormed lately? Do you give him heartworm medication?

Call your local humane society -- maybe they can help you.

Had the same problems....it's symptoms are just like Crohn's disease. Pain and nausea, swelling of the small intestines. The pain is like poison in the kidney area and up the back. The chest will feel like a medium heart attack. Your dog doesn't want to move from the pain.

Ginger ale and a tblspoon of baking soda works for about 5 hrs. This is a temporary solution.

What works is several doses of Soy Protein with a long list of vitamins in it. I think the vitamins are the remedy. Your dog isn't getting certain vitamins and it makes the intestines swell.

soy ? get him some dead raw pig

Yeah, he's sick and needs a vet or put him down.

call vets and see if they will take him if you agree to give him up.

Ole Yeller time...

Push em at least 100 yards from the Meth lab you have in your trailer. He should be back to frisky in no time.

failed troll failed

we put em down when they git like that here...fuck spendin 200$ on a vet to do the same thing a 50 cent bullet can do.

Take him outside and give him an enema.

Be sure to step back.

i couldn't afford the emergency vet clinic on july 4th two years ago and my beloved dog died. if i had it to do over again, i would have still paid my mortgage because i was in jeopardy of loosing my house. but it really does hurt thinking about it.

my doggy stopped eating too. your dog can have a blockage, or ate something sharp that is harming his insides.

if there is a blockage pay attention to see if it can poop. if it can, if you see blood your dog is going to die if you can't get to a vet for surgery.

give your dog Structured water- through frequencies and thought-- and pure THC oils.- Hemp Oils- or just raw buds ... your dog will become so ridiculously healthy- and you will too with this diet... Raw foods- Frequency Charged Water- and Hemp Oils/Raw Buds.... ingest... meditate... be pure... put an energy bubble around your home..

I'm sorry about your dog. My old lab lost interest in her food about a month ago. We knew she was really sick when she refused chucks of steak fat. Took her to vet who did a shit load of expensive blood work, turns out she has erlichiosis(sp) tick fever. Is now on doxycycline and is 100% better. Also a girl at the gym this morning sd her dog was having same sxs. But her dog has pitiosis(?) its a fugus they get from drinking dirty water. Theres no cure for that. Do you live in the south? I'm guessing u do from your name ;) theres so much that dogs and all animals can contract in the summer. At the very least, worm the dog, you can get wormer at just about any store that sells pet food. Is the dog coughing? do u do preventative heart wormer? Don't get the expensive stuff from vet, go to feed store and get a huge bottle of cow wormer,its cheap and will last forever. However don't tx for heart worms unless u know dog doesn't already have them. Best of luck to you

can you afford bullets?

My dog gets this way sometimes, and its because he needs to take a poop. Senecot tablets one for a big dog, 1/2 for a small dog. Does wonders. Good luck on your dog.

Give it some sweet things

Yeah, sounds like he got a Government job, ASK HIM where his paycheck is...

You'd really have to give more info then you've given. Such as age and breed. However might be blockage in the dygrestive track.

Do you know the activities of your dog?

I knew a couple assholes once upon a time and they killed their dog by letting it get into the bathroom trash and eating up the bitch's tampons. True story.

Knowing more info can be very helpful.

You can mesage the belly area and this could free up some blockage, or take dog for long walk works too.

Take your dog for a walk and let him drink warm milk and stay in a tub. Dogs heal themselves.

Too bad people don't have rife machines.

A tub with a sleeping bag, that is. Dogs need to stay warm in a small space to heal. Don't coax him to eat. Just water and milk.

Your dog sounds like he might have the bloat, this is deadly...if this is what he has you need and emergency vet ASAP!

I will pray for your puppy!

"My dog wont eat or drink, listless, lazy and bloated"

These symptoms most likely can be found in tens, scores, many of illnesses and conditions.

I would need more symptoms to get a better idea of what the dog COULD be suffering from, now I could post around 50 different ailments that the dog could have and depending on things like BP, heart rate, temperature, smell, feel of the bloated area I could reduce it to a handful of potentials BEFORE blood tests, x-rays, etc.

Go to the SPCA NOW. They will arrange easy to make monthly payments. They will either work with a vet in your area, or they may have a vet on duty.

Without an exam the dog is 'untreatable'. After all I can think of three OTC medications to treat the symptoms, however I can thing of 10 diseases that those OTC products will make worse if the dog has is leading to even more complications up to and including death.


If the dog hasn't eaten/drank in 48 hours it will need an IV line to supply it liquids.

Breed of dog is also important. A 'twisted gut' (Gastric Torsion) is prevalent in specific breeds.

[link to www.woodhavenlabs.com] Read it, not saying your dog has this issue, however if you read it you find that a history of the dog (knowing the behavior and eating habits of the dog) is key to diagnosing the dog.

put peanut butter on the roof of the dogs mouth, itll have to lick at it and the dog will be okay, .when its better walk it get it sun

Dear OP, please give some more information, for instance (some points already suggested):

- Breed
- Age
- Gender
- Standard feeding, type of food
- Previous history of ailments and illnesses, accidents
- Eventual medications
- When the problems started, symptoms at the time
- Rate of change in symptoms, current status

I'm just a dog lover, a professional would probably ask more questions but it is a start.
