My dog is wiener dog and for a day or two now he won't eat or drink anything and he don't want to play with my kids and we have his sister here and she is just fine she is eating and drinking and playing with my kids and I don't know what's wrong and my vet won't answer his phone. Someone please give me some advice...

Have you tried calling any other vets?

Not drinking anything is very serious.

Keep trying your vet as you need to get in today.

In the mean time get some pedialyte from your chemist (pharmacy) and a large syringe without the needle...

Give him a syringe full every hour to keep him hydrated until the vet can asses him.

I have no other vets I live like two hours away from anywhere else. Thanks for your advice.. I greatly appreciate it.

If you can't get a hold of a syringe or a baby bottle, do what ever you can to keep him/her hydrated, even if you have to soak a rag and drip it slowly down their throat.
They won't like you, but it will be better off in the long run.:)
