I have a mix between rotweiler and german sheppard. About a week ago, she started to get like all tired, she doesn't move around, she doesn't want to eat mutch, just small portions and like I sayed she is lifeless. Now before you tell me to go to vet, we are 360km away from the nearest vet. And they are booked for a week and a half in advance. She has lost a lot of weight. I did call the vet and he say that it might be the one in a hunder dogs that get sick when they are teething. Is that posible and what can I do to get her old self back? Sory for my english I know its bad. Please help me as I really love my dog.

We can help and give you some insight on what is going on with your pet; you mentioned teething, so assume she is quite young. Is this correct ? Nothing wrong with your english, but please give us more information. Was she adopted from a shelter or another person? Did you get her from a litter ?

How long have you had the dog?

Exactly how old is the dog?

Where did you get the dog?

Is the dog up to date on shots?

We need some more info and then we may be able to help. Realize that we cannot give you a diagnosis, we can only guess, so your best bet really is the vet. We will do our best, but there's only so much we can do over the internet.

Is she up to date with wormig medication? I am assuming that you live in a rural area, so has she been vaccinated for Parvo?

My big concern is that the dog hasn't had any shots. If the vet is 360 km away, and the OP won't go when her dog is this sick, I have to assume that making the trip for shots isn't something that happens either.

If the dog isn't up to date on shots then there are so many possibilities of what this could be, including the deadly parvo virus.

It could be a parasite born disease like Lyme or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever... Both come from fleas and ticks. If she lives in the country, then it may be possible.
