What is wrong?

I have a 1yr old beagle actually she turned 1 yesterday but these past 3 or 4 days she wont eat anything I give her and she acts as if she has no energy she just acts depressed and drags herself around I cant figure it out PLEASE HELP!!!
Answers:
Is she drinking? This is the most important!!

Has she pee'd or poo'd

If not - to the vet immediately

If so ... dogs can go off their food. Canned foods can be quite rich
Mix up som plain white rice and a bit of boilded hamburger and shee if she can manange that.
If she can, do not try to over feed her, but nurse her back slowly

I know it is expenseive, but don't let this go on much longer - many things can be going on with a dog and need to be checked out.

But don't panic - just try to make sure she is drinking and that stuff is coming out the other end

Give her a good all over gentle massage to make sure she has no odd lumps or bumps ... and lots and lots of nursing love


BACK ATACHA ON THE WATER ... try bottled water - the cholrine etc may be making her gag. Think of how you feel when you have a cold or something - everything makes you gag. So go for bottled for a day or two ...
Make up that boiled rice %26 boilded hamburger for her and try to hand feed her the smallest amount. BUT don't worry about the food so much ... she needs water first.
It IS allergy season - and it makes us all feel like crap.

Again most important is to check that things are going in AND out

ANOTHER BACK ATCHA

If you are worried - then please take her to the vet right away ... they have fast, simple tests to figure all of this out.
You are a good responsible dog owner worring over this. It dies need attention - best with the vet


ANOTHER BACK ATCHA
I put you in my contacts ... not sure how to send you my email without broadcasting it in here :)
My dog was having the same problem(6 month old chocolate lab)...but he was also throwing up...so i took him to the vet...she said that all of the pollen in the air can make my dog feel like that. I was scared with all of this China food call backs but about 2 weeks later he was fine.
TAKE HER TO THE VET! nobody can diagnose without actually seeing her. most likely blood testing needs to be done.
GO TO THE VET.

your dog really could be sick.

iths may be nothing serious, like a mild gastro enteritis, causing some nausea. but it is possible a more serious problem is involved especially if you regularly give her fatty foods like Hamburgers i would be worried about possible pancreatitis.

so go to the vet. tell them your worries and work out a plan.

this may be nothing, but better safe than sorry
Don't waste time asking more questions, get your dog examined by a doctor immediately. Lethargy anorexia, and weight loss are common signs of many extremely dangerous conditions (kidney failure, systemic infection, obstruction, heartworm infection, diabetes, etc..)

You will not get a diagnosis on the internet, a doctor has to put their hands on your dog and look at everything.
