| senior dog stopped eating and won't get up
my 14 year old terrier early in the summer,suddenly began to show old age,with nothing leading up to it. one night ,while at my parents place,he began to act as though he was sore and was walking very feebley..the vet said he injured himself and issued pain pills,but his condition hasn't gotten better but much worse. could my dog's elderly actions have been brought on like this suddenly by an injury such as when jumping off the bed or something? before that night,he was jumping and playing and always running up and down the stairs a happy cheery dog. how in one night could he become feeble and old(acting)???
he's 14 so i understand that as an older dog,some of his actions might change,but every single bit of this came on in a total of 3 months,beginning with that night.up to then he was running,jumping, even running up and down the stairs//i began to have to walk him outside for up to 25 minutes or more at a time when he wanted to go potty..i got used to that..walking slow..and inside he began to sleep almost all the time..i hate it,but i know i can't do anything about it,that i know of..
two days ago he stopped eating and i can't even get him up to go potty outside..this was sudden..totally!!iin two days he totally has made a huge jump into further regression. i don't understand how this is happening in such sudden fast spurts.. the vet says he has a disc somethng or another..not a degeneration of the disc but something else and says it's something that might flare up now and then and he might need pills for it.but he said it's something that will heal,but will likely flare up now and then..but since the vet diagnosed him a couple months ago the dog got better for a very short while only..then got worse.. fastly .in the past two day he's jumped terribally into further regression..it's totally unbelieveable..i can't get him to eat or to go outside..i really need advice badly.. |
