I'm truly sorry to hear about the loss of your male dog, and it sounds like your Australian Shepherd is experiencing a difficult time. The symptoms you've mentioned, such as not eating or drinking, lethargy, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and white gums, are quite alarming and could indicate a serious health issue. Particularly, the white gums and difficulty breathing can be signs of shock or severe anemia, which require immediate veterinary attention.

Given the sudden onset and severity of these symptoms, I strongly urge you to take your dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible. They will be able to conduct a thorough examination and provide the necessary treatment to address these issues.

In the meantime, try to keep her calm and comfortable. It's best to avoid forcing her to eat or drink, as this could add to her stress. If you have any further questions or need more guidance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you.
