When a dog isn’t feeling right, when they have pain internally, when they hesitate to do things they do every day–SCHEDULE A CHECKUP for them! The longer you wait means the harder it is to clear up whatever the problem is. Sometimes the longer you wait the more likely it is for the dog NOT to be able to recover from it. There does come a point where some things just are no longer treatable and you’ve lost the window of opportunity by waiting.
You said she’s sick.
Take her to the vets this week.
If her stomach is very sensitive she could have bloat. Which can be fatal for dogs and occurs in seniors more than younger puppies. I would take her to a vet, although some of those symptoms could just be growing older. I would also ask about the chance of her having cancer. She may have a stomach tumor and that would be the reason for the behavior changes and sensitivity around that area. Have a vet check it out, but get multiple opinions to be sure.
Vet visit asap. They have long bodies & short legs so they can get back problems like slipped discs. She might be having a lot of back pain & doesn’t want to move or tolerated being picked up. Dogs generally hide pain well so if she is showing these signs it means something serious is wrong.
It sounds like there is really something wrong with your dog. I know it’s Saturday night, but I would call your vet or an emergency vet and get her in to get checked out. Also, check if she is eating or drinking, because the vet will have to know about that too.
It’s simple. Before she gets any worse take her to the vet! In those conditions there is nothing you can do to help. It also might be worse if you keep her there instead of getting her on some medicine or something. Hope that answers your question
Take her to the vet now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…
Instead of asking for answers on the internet, you need to bring your dog to a VET to be checked out
did it ever occur to you to take your dog to the vet?
