My dad called the vet and told him what's wrong with him and they said he's dehydrated.
So we give him water and everything, but he pukes up his food or whatever he eats or drinks, just not all of it.
Right now he's barely moving, but he would roll over onto his side and he's just okay, he just won't stand up.
He just won't stand up or walk or anything like he's in pain or something.
And making weird noises like he's growling or something, like he's moaning.
Do you think it's his stomach?
Or could it be something else?
I really don't want my dog to die :(.

He can sit, but it seems like his hind legs are either sore or weak. He has tried walking only to go a little ways. His hind legs seem to be the problem with walking.

Well he has stopped puking up his food.
He just has problems with walking.
His hind legs seem weak.
And no he probably hasn't eaten anything lying around.
We let him inside the house everynow and then, but he never eats anything off the floor.
He seems to have some type of ooze coming out of his penis.
It has a little tint to it, almost a green tint.
I've tried calling my dad at work, but no answer.
I need a number to a local vet around Wahkon, Minnesota.
Can anyone help with that?
I'm searching now, but I can also use help.

The dog needs to be seen by a vet.......hopefully you all haven't waited to long...

Make an appointment and go to the vet. This can't be diagnosed either over the phone or over the internet. Dehydration can cause organ failure quickly. The pup may need an IV. Make that appointment ASAP. Don't waste any time. Good Luck.
Edit: Hell with the appointment. Just show up there- Mrs. Jones can wait to have her poodle's nails clipped....

You need to take your dog to the vet there are many things that could have happened to him to cause him to be in so much misery. If he is not keeping food and water down he won't be able to rehydrate himself on his own. As hot as it has been, at least where I live, it could even be a heat related.
Tell you dad to call the vet back and tell them you are on your way with the dog. If they won't see you then call another vet more willing to help!

I really think your dad needs to take him to an emergency vet in you area. You dog is not acting normal and could be very sick. It is quite possible that without seeing your pup, the vet just doesnt know the severity. Better safe than sorry! Get that pup to a vet soon.

Calling the vet was good buy obviously the vet's advice didn't do the trick now it's time to bring the dog to the vet for an exam!!

Call the vet back and tell him you're taking the dog in right now because it's very sick. Then drive to the vet's office and sit in the waiting room until the vet sees your dog.

Sounds like this dog has parvo to me. We just lost a pit bull puppy two weeks ago from the virus. You said he is drinking but throwing up the water. That was a symptom that our pup had too. He is too weak to stand up. You need to get to the vet asap.....our vet started the iv and meds, but it was too late, the pup passed away in the night. Do you know if the dog has had his shots....if not I would bet that this is parvo. Sorry.....my son didn't get his dog the shots needed, and that is what happened. Get to the vet....

He could be bloated. Dog's normally eat grass when they have stomach aches. Try giving him some, if he doesn't eat it, try feeding him a little baking soda.
If nothing else, taking him to the vets. He might have eaten something lying around, this happened to my friend dog after she ate rat poison. Think about what's been lying around the house, any chocolate, sponges, or gum?

small hint:
GO TO THE VET! If he's dehydrating then they can do something for him NOW. If you wait long enough you won't have to worry. He'll die. Would you rather go and they send you home with things to do or would you rather wait till he's dead? hmmm??? Better to be safe then sorry. What would you want done if it were you?

Since you already called the doctor. Call him back and let them know that you are on your way with your dog. Get him checked out and taken care of as soon as you can.
