Why is my dog not eating, pooping, or peeing after a Whimzee chew?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be a sign of nausea. I think that if this continues, Zekie should be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may be able to look into this so that it can be treated. Further diagnostics would include general labwork and abdominal imaging. You can try giving him a bland diet such as one composed mainly of boiled chicken and white rice to entice his appetite. Good luck and have a good night!

She might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer her boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she is not eating, take her to the vet to get treatment.

These are very unspecific signs of being unwell. You can observe her for a while, fast her for 24 hours and then offer her some boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken. If she has a tummy ache this should clear that up. If you suspect that she is in pain somewhere else of if she is deteriorating and or getting lethargic, you need to take her to a veterinarian for an exam.

Considering your description of the signs, Harley may have a possible gastrointestinal infection and require treatment with dietary change (bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portions every 6 hours for 4-5 days), antibiotics, probiotics, antiemetic medications and eventually gastroprotectants. Ask your veterinarian to check her over and discuss these treatment options (on prescription).

Continue giving the rice and boiled chicken for the next 4-7 days and then slowly transition him back to his normal diet. You can also try adding in 1-2 tsp of canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) in to his food daily to see if this helps also. If he is still having diarrhea after 2-3 days, then it’s best to get Harley seen by your local vet for a proper exam, fecal exam (to check for intestinal parasites), and bloodwork should be considered if he hasn’t had any in the last 6 months to a year. Underlying liver disease and gallbladder disease can cause subtle signs like loose stool in pets, so it’s best to get things checked out if things don’t get better. Best of luck with Harley and I hope his diarrhea improves soon. Take care.

Gemini needs to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. These are all very non-specific signs, but she could be dealing with an infection, an endocrine or autoimmune disease, trauma or environmental stress leading to behavioural issues. Your vet may want to run bloodwork and check her urine for any signs of illness, and may recommend imaging such as x-rays to help determine the cause. In the meantime, if she is not eating well, you can try boiling boneless skinless chicken in water, shredding the chicken, and feeding her small amounts of the resulting chicken broth and cooked chicken once it has cooled. This is not a balanced diet, but is okay for a couple of days to help encourage her to eat. You can add in some plain boiled white rice or potatoes as well if you like.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Mitzi. Poor girl. It sounds like she may be sick if she is eating less and having some diarrhea. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
