How old is your dog?

The sympotoms sound very similar to my dogs... I took her to the vet for blood tests which showed very high potassium levels which could indicate kidney faliure. If your waggy is off food and water definitely take them to the vet... Sadly we had to put her to sleep last September but she was 18!

Please don't leave it, take them today xxx thoughts with you.

Not to mention that the potasium level could have caused fitting and cardiac arrest

It's past time to get her to the vet, this could be many things.
She can't go on like this, please get her the medical attention she needs.

The vet really is the only option.

I really wish that we could diagnose pet illnesses online, but we can't. If we could we could all save a lot of money.

Sadly, a vet can do what we can't. A vet can order tests, and find out what's going on.

We can give advice on how to keep her hydrated until you get to the vet, but that's really all we can do. We can't diagnose. Not even a vet can do that online.

Please, get her to the vet right away. The symptoms you're describing could mean the death of your dog within a matter of days.
