My dog has stomach pain, lethargy, won't eat or walk. What's wrong?

I'm sorry Meatball isn't feeling well at all! It sounds like her stomach is quite upset and painful. The pain in her stomach could be indicated by her constant position changes, whining, and inability to stay in one position for long. These signs could be due to a severe GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, or even cancer which unfortunately is always a possibility in a senior dogs. The excessively licking could be due to being nauseous, but it could be due to allergies which would cause the constant scratching as well. I would have Meatball seen by a vet immediately for a physical exam, blood tests, urinalysis, and x-rays to diagnose what is causing her symptoms so she can be treated.

Since Beki is exhibiting a variety of symptoms (not eating and walking abnormally) I would recommend you take her to the veterinarian to be checked out. She could be suffering from back/spinal pain or abdominal pain from something like pancreatitis. A physical examination by your veterinarian will help determine the cause of her discomfort. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.

This may be an emergency. Tess may be suffering from a severe gastrointestinal condition such as pancreatitis. Please take her to a Pet Emergency room this evening for an exam, some blood tests, and pain relief.

Poor Molly! Vomiting for three days is very concerning. If she's constipated and hasn't been able to poop, it's possible that she may have an intestinal blockage. This sounds like quite a severe problem, so I would recommend taking her to the vet today to be seen. Your veterinarian can examine her and take some x-rays if needed to help determine why she can't poop, and will advise you on what kind of treatment is needed depending on what is found.

Hello, yes she could have a foreign body or could be sick form something else such as with parasites or with a viral infection. If she continues to have a decreased appetite, develops vomiting again, or becomes even more lethargic then she should be seen by her veterinarian soon. If she ate a different diet she could have an upset stomach as well. Hope she starts to feel better soon and best of luck.

Unfortunately, her symptoms are very vague - they don't point to one specific illness or disease process. It sounds like her abdomen/stomach hurts. I suggest you take her to the vet for an exam. She is pacing from pain - I'm sure you don't want her to continue to be in pain. At her age I would be worried and it is best to catch this problem early.

Hi. It sounds like Molly is pretty sick and weak. She should be checked out immediately. She could be constipated, have eaten something she shouldn't have, or have a severe kind of infection making her not feel well. With her being unspayed, we worry about pyometra. This is a life threatening infection in the uterus due to hormone changes that causes lethargy, vomiting, weakness, increased water drinking, and even death if not intervened quickly. The treatment is to spay her on an emergency basis. You diagnose it by history, bloodwork, x-rays /- an ultrasound. Get her in right away.
