He's lethargic, won't eat or drink
If your dog is experiencing lethargy, loss of appetite, and not drinking, these could be signs of a serious underlying issue, especially if the symptoms have appeared suddenly. There are several potential causes for these symptoms, including infections, ingestion of toxic substances, or other medical conditions.
Given the severity of the symptoms and the fact that they have been ongoing for a day, it is crucial to seek immediate veterinary care. Here are a few reasons why this is important:
Firstly, not drinking water can quickly lead to dehydration, which can be life-threatening. Secondly, if your dog has ingested something toxic, prompt treatment is essential to prevent serious harm. Lastly, conditions like infections or organ issues can cause lethargy and loss of appetite, and these need to be diagnosed and treated by a professional.
While waiting to see the vet, try to keep your dog comfortable and monitor any changes in behavior or symptoms. Avoid giving any food or medications unless specifically advised by a veterinarian.
Please take your dog to the nearest veterinary clinic or emergency animal hospital as soon as possible. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.
