My dog has been sick for few days. The doctor gave me pills to give it but my dog can't even eat or drink anything because of pleghm... how can I feed it?

What is your dog being treated for?
And what meds is he taking, or rather supposed to be taking?

Im not too sure. I was away when my mom said it was habing flu and sneezing all the time. The vet gave 3 kinds of pills to stop the flu. But I can't feed it as my dog can't even swallow water. I tried to force feed but it vomited. Its having high fever and shivering. Im quite worried because all vets are closed in my area for the weekend..

How old is the dog?

Its 4 years plus...

Ive given it glucose but only managed very little. Its sleeping and veey weak. Is there any way to reduce its fever atleas for the moment?

Is there an emergency veterinarian in your area? It would be worth giving them a call.
Are you checking his temperature with a digital thermometer, if so what was it?

Nope. There is only 1 place in my area and it is closed. Its about 32 at the moment. The room temperature in my place is about 20 at the current time.

I'm assuming 32 celsius, which calculates to about 89 fahrenheit, is that correct?

Yes. I had no idea what to do. I remember giving my other dog panadol once and it worked. Is it OK for me ro dilute 2 pills and force feed it? Im sure my dog will vomit out most of it but as long as some goes in it might work?

89.6

Panadol = Acetaminophen

Did the vet say okay on this? And at what dose?

I apologize my computer just shut down without me,
No do not give anything

Normal temp is 101-102 F, your dog is much to cold.
Throw some towels, a blanket in the dryer to start and warm her up.

Do dogs get the flu?

So I am correct in assuming that you are taking the temp in celsius, sorry I'm American and didn't listen to well when studies included the metric system.

They can get a type of dog flu.

Get back to me please once you've wrapped her in warm towels.

Sure ill try it.. thanks a lot to both of you. Ill be glad if he can atlease pull through for the weekend. I will try to feed him glucose every 3 hours to give it energy. I can't give it any other food though... should he be OK?
