I have a sick little guy on my hands. And we can't get in to
see the vet till early next week. He always sleeps
good at night but last night he was wimpering all night and couldn't get settled. Nothing I did helped him. I also noticed this morning that he only ate a couple mouthfuls of his food and barely no water. I need some help as to if
there's anything I can give or do for him till he gets to the vet.

Can you call your vet and explain that this is an emergency and ask if they could please squeeze you in? Is there an emergency vet nearby? Good luck!!

is there another vet you can see? with pets it's important to take them to the vet at the first sign of pain/discomfort as they are hard wired to hide pain.

I agree, your guy needs to see a vet today.

This is not a problem that is going to wait a week.

He does really need to see the Vet. Is that the Vet doesn't have any available appointments or you can't do it till next week?

I will never understand why Vet's say they can't make room for a client. My Vet will always see me no matter when and even with no appointment if I have a seriously ill baby.

I agree....my vet would never let me wait that long. Go to an Emergency Vet..these dogs can dehydrate quickly. Get to the bottom of whatever is bothering him today. Good luck.
