My doggie is feeling ill but we don't want to take him to the vet just yet. we want to know if it is a problem we can help on our own. Well, he's not eating write. He sometimes has diarrhea and sometimes he's constipated. He is really skinny and lately he hasn't been hyper like he usually is. He's not old so that isn't the problem. He also turned hunched back and i am really worried because i love my dog and i don't want nothing to happen to him. Does anybody know what's his problem? Thank u so much for helping!!!!!

I would take him to a vet as quickly as I can. There seems to be way to many things going on that could be a big problem. Only a vet can help you and get the dog on the right treatment.

With that many symptoms - there is a problem and one that can not be taken care of on your own. The only right answer here is go to the vet. It would only be cruel to ignore this and not get the dog help.

its usually good to at least call the vet. about the hunchback part, i really am not sure. the rest sounds like it could be worms or intestinal parasites. i had a dog that had whipworms and i thought she was dying. she wouldnt eat and she began having diarrhea with huge puddles of blood with the worst death smell you could imagine. i took her to the vet and he gave her shots and some medicine in a powder form for her worms and she's healthy now. unless he is extremely sick, you could worm him and see if it helps if not then get him to the vet. anything besides worms is hardly treatable at home and some things can get very serious very quick. hope this helped.

The first problem is you cannot fix him online, you need to be the responsible pet owner and take him to the vet. Secondly...If you are changing his food to different brands, it can cause digestive problems, he could have parvo, worms....only a VET can tell you, because he has to run blood and fecal tests. I have no idea what would cause his spine to raise, unless he is actually cowering over something, or he does not have good bone structure...again sweetie, this is DEFINITELY a VET thing, not a online medicating issue.

Get off the computer, and get this dog to a vet. This could be a whole host of problems from a virus, a parasite, twisted bowel or bloat. You can't tell. Go to a professional!! Good Luck, I hope it works out.

Your best bet is to take him to the vet or just let him get over it. Your dog who is in many ways much like you, has stronger white blood cells, so it's best to just let him do his thing. If, however, this has been going on for a week or more take him to the vet. As for the food, give him purina one, the best food for dogs everywhere. If he still refuses to eat, hand feeding him would be best.

Sorry but the best answer you got is to quit screwing around and get to the vet. If you can't do that for your dog at least take it to a shelter and give it up and tell them the dog is sick.

there might be more than what can be self diagnosed on here, it sounds like you really really need to take your dog to the vet. You wouldnt let your kids get this bad if you had any, take the dog to the vet. It sounds bad!

He sounds really sick, it could be a bunch of things, I remember when I was younger my dog got sick like that and it turned out that she had been eating rocks out of the back yard that she could not pass out in her stool and she had to have surgery.But only a vet can tell you the best. Good luck to you and your dog sweetie.

TAKE HIM TO THE VET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.........those symptoms can mean so many different things, all of which need to be treated by a vet. If you care about your dog as much as you say you day you would do that for him.
Good luck
