    Sick dog won't eat or drink.
    I have a 7 month old dog and she recently became ill.(with in the past 4 days). First she wouldn't eat and she was only drinking water. The next day she tried to eat a small amount of chicken but not much maybe a ounce; but she was still drinking water. I thought she might have had really bad worms so I D-wormed her. Then she wasn't eating or drinking.and compleatley out of energy. Which really concerned me. I have been making her drink gator-aid, water mixed with a bit of honey. I have also been trying to make sure she gets some nutrients so I have been also giving her a raw egg each morning.( this happens to be her favorite treat :)) her energy is back she seems a little happier and wagging her tail more but she is still not eating or drink anything (other than what I have forced upon her). She threw up a few times and had diarriea once but that has stopped.(which is a good sign).Also, Her gums are a healthy pink rosey color. I am going to take her to the vet when I get my check Monday morning I just wanted some advice what to until then..

    Try cooking browned hamburger and rice. These ingredients smell good and are easy to digest.

    Unfortunately, with such a young pup, it really could be anything. You're going to have to seek a vet. Just monitor her behavior and continue to get her to eat something and drink something until Monday comes around. Sometimes with Emergency visits where the dog has to be hospitalized, you don't have to pay anything until the dog is discharged.. so please don't hesitate to rush your dog in for the weekend to be put on fluids. The most dangerous part is not giving enough water.
