    My dog will not eat, drink or play! No fever!
    Yesterday my dog would not eat or drink anything. I kept her in bed with me all night, and this morning she started to play for a little while. She slept all day, she wouldn't eat or drink again today. Just a few minutes ago, she hopped off the couch and threw up some clear stuff, then she threw up some foamy white stuff. Her temperature is 100.8.

    105.0 or so is normal for dogs; so her temp is good. Smart of you to check that; it could have been different and that would have been a red flag.

    Clear liquid upbring, well, my dog does that after eating grass; grass is a tonic for them so has she ben eating any grass at all? Food is important, a dog will always eat when they need to, but should not be shunning water.

    What kind of dog do you have, and how old is she? If you are worried, take her to the vet for a check up.

    Tick means 101.5 is good, NOT 105.

    White foamy saliva is saliva mixed with air, and can be from a sore throat. It's a common finding the first snow of a season, and dogs run around biting it. Sore throat/tonsillitis in a day or so is common. Not saying this is the case for you, but I suspect mild tonsillitis is the problem. Excess drinking is an attempt to make the throat feel better, and panting or deep breathing is also a little uncomfortable on the throat.

    If she isn't better tomorrow, have the vet take a look at her.

    Well, we're down in Texas, definitely not seeing snow down here! =)

    But we took them to the vet yesterday, I couldn't bear watching them suffer.

    Parvo positive =/. But they're doing better after getting some fluids and antibiotics. They'll need a couple of days of treatment and will be fine =). Thanks for the help, though!
