Dog is sick please help... my dog has been acting really strange so far i noticed he has been shaking, feels warm to the touch and the stranges thing is that he will be laying on the couch and all of a sudden get up go to the floor look really scared and lay in an awkward position then he will stop and lay somewhere else in a regular comfortable way...i notice that he whines sometimes when he lays down also this was noticed today...ps the vet is closed small town and will be taking him to vet tomorrow just want to know what it could be and how i could help him till then..he doesnt want to eat but drinks water. |
honestly I haven't the slightest clue...anytime your dog starts acting unusual...it's always best to get them to the Vet. I would get him in as soon as they open up! If he gets worse...do you have an emergency vet in town you could call? Does your Vet have an answering service that you could call them and get him to call you back? |
i have tried calling but all i get is a machine stating opening hours...maybe it could be something he ate i really dont know but he is one of those dogs who does things he's not suppose to when your not around...kind of dog... |
When dogs are in pain they will have a hard time getting comfortable. Is there any vet you can get him to tonight if he gets worse? Did he eat anything different today? Hopefully you can get him in first thing in the morning. |
he has had his usual dog food and a dog treat (same dog treats he always eats) and cooked carrots (same as usual) nothing has changed at all...so i dont know what could be the problem... |
yah...that's a little scary...because if he ingested something toxic...he won't be able to wait until morning!! It could be fatal...is he still shaking? and trying to get comfortable? |
yes, he is still shaking, he goes back and forth to his dog bed...i keep letting him out to use the bathroom just in case he did eat something that is trying to pass..i really dont know what else i could do... |
No emergency 24-hour vet anywhere in the area? |
Do you have any nutrical or HONEY on hand?? The only thing I can think of when they shake is that their blood sugar is low...but then you say he cries out when he lays down...did he fall or hurt a leg?? My Tulip pulled a leg muscle a few weeks ago..and she was shaking and wouldn't lay still either....and our vet was closed...of course...anyhow I put her on a heating pad...put it on warm...then gave her baby aspirin...you can give 1 mg. per POUND... twice a day..for short periods of time(you need to crush it and roll it in a small piece of cheese) ...anyhow...by the time my vet office opened up...she was back to normal...not limping or anything!! It might make him more comfortable till your vets office opens up. |
I wonder if he may have been spooked by a loud noise or something? My Suzi is scared to death if the fire alarm goes off, she shakes too. She also shakes when I place her on the grooming table. Maybe he saw something new or different that frightened him? I know it takes a while for Suzi to calm down when she gets very scared. However, it still can be something more serious. Calling the vet is a good idea if he's still not acting right. |
Here is one in your area, Pet Emergency SVC of Yakima, 721 N Keys Rd 509)452-4138 |
Hopefully she took him in to see the Vet today.... Please update us and let us know how he's doing!:confused: |
Checking in for an update... hope it's nothing major... |
hello everyone well my boy is doing good apparently he ate something that he wasnt suppose to and was having a hard time passing it, the vet said it was not dangerous and would pass on its own and he had a tummy ache for that reason...he has passed it already and has been acting his normal self thank you for all the advice and help! |
I think it really sounds like pancreatitis, be careful of that, they usually have a very hard time find a comfortable position? Did your vet give him Sub Q fluids? Did you give him some pepto? |
