Very Old Dog With Vomiting and Diarrhea for Three Days
by Diana
(ceres,ca.)
Three days of vomiting and diarrhea and refusing food are not normal signs of old age, and in a 17-year-old dog they can quickly lead to dehydration. Please take him to a vet today. Kidney disease, liver disease, pancreatitis, infections and tumors are among the possible causes at his age, and many can be treated or managed.
Stiffness when your older dog first gets up does often come from arthritis, and pain relief can make her much more comfortable. Ask your vet about it at the same visit.
