    My dog has sickness, diahorrea and won't eat
    I have a 3year old Jack Russell called Missee, who is being sick regularly every few days
    And constantly has diahorrea. Whenever my dog is sick, its substance is yellow coloured
    Bile. Her diahorrea is yellow in colour and varies in strength, between loose motions
    And pouring out like water, asif someone has switched a tap on! I am very concerned
    About her.
    Missee hasn't eaten her dry food in well over a week. She has always had dry food, her
    Whole life. To prevent starvation, I've been giving her "tit bits" of fresh meats, human
    Snacks. But over the last 3days she's even refused these, which has got me really worried!
    I knew something was VERY wrong when she refused her favourite treat of baked beans
    Today. Its totally out-of-character.

    Aside from her refusal to eat, sickness and diahorrea, Missee has plenty of energy. She
    Is still boundy on walks, engages with "play fetch" and is very responsive, active. She is
    Drinking water regularly, normal. She's not lost any weight. Im obviously very concerned all the same though and
    Would welcome any advice/ information if there is any out there?
    Thank you

    Your pet could be suffering from a number of things, from intestinal parasites to irritable bowel to liver issues. Given her age I would start with the simple things first and have a fecal sample tested at her Veterinarian. But in the meantime lay off the table food. Boiled chicken or hamburger with white rice are OK in small portions,(unseasoned) the key until then is to let her tummy rest a little. Your best bet is a trip to the vet if she has an irritated GI tract, anti-biotics or anti-fungals may be in order, but you don't want to let it continue into dehydration.

    I think you ought to take missie to the vet. Sounds like there is something serious going on. Theresa mentioned some good points.

    Thank you very much for the advice, which is greatly received.
    I shall definitely seek to take her to the vets, as there is
    No improvement in her condition and the diahorrea is so very
    Severe now, even though she's not had any human foods or even
    Her dried dog food! Thank you :)
