My adopted dog is'nt eating or drinking, and shakes in his sleep.
I know there are a lot of other questions like this,but none of them really give me the correct information I hope to find.Maybe you all can help or come up with suggestions to help.
My family and I just adopted a 3 year old dog from an animal hospital two and a half weeks ago.He was taken in as a stray , but had tags for shots from 2006.We got him up to date on all his vaccines, and have been going to the vet for a couple of days to makes sure he's doing fine. He got very used to my home and my family and was eating fine.My vet had him on a special diet since his tummy wasn't feeling so good, but now he won't eat any of the food the vet has given us. He won't drink water, and won't eat ice, we've tried putting pedalite popsicles in the water and he still won't go near his bowls. I do have a feeling he was abused by his previous owners, but he's such a sweet little dog. I don't know how to help him, Ive given him white chicken , and I steamed him up rice but he still won't touch his food at all, its been two days now, and starting to dehydrate. On top of that, he's starting to do weird shakes and make crying noises in his sleep... and he;s very very tired all the time. He's a lap dog so I expect him to be a bit lazy and easy going, but he hasn't even barked at the neighbor hood dogs since he's stopped eating.
Anyone know how to deal with this? Please any suggestions would help greatly! :confused:
