    Phil, if your dog hasn't eaten for 3 days and she has developed physical symptoms as you have described, it is time to get her to your vet ASAP.

    She might have eaten something that is causing a blockage or she might have picked up a virus. It could be anything. Without being able to examine her, no one can properly diagnose your dog online. Please, I am begging you, do not wait around for answers and get her to your vet before the end of the day. If you remember to do so, please post back and let us know if she is okay.

    Agree with everything JAL has said, it's time for the vet I'm afraid.
    Any sudden changes need to be looked at by a professional and intestinal blockages is certainly a common problem that need to be acted upon fast!
