For the past day or so, my dog hasn't been himself.. he is a cockapoo and is 7 years old.. he hardly moves or responds to us.. we thought that maybe the landscaper sprayed something and my dog inhaled it or something.. but its really making me worry.. i brought him by his water bowl and he drank and then i took him out, and then he peed. when we got back inside, he just layed down again barely moving.. my mom said he threw up while i was out yesterday .. today, my mom is going to take him to the vet when she gets out of work.. im just really scared for him because i had him since i was a baby.. he is very healthy except for yesterday when he started this behavior.. please help me out! =(

I think animals do that when there not feeling well - obviously. He might just have a stomach ache or something along those lines. I know this sounds nasty but when your picking up his stuff check it and make sure it doesnt have blood in it - same thing with his pee - because something similar happened to my cousins cat and he had weird crystal things in his stomach. Also check his barf to make sure there arent any worms - that could be a sign of parasites - but these all of the worst case scenarios, hopefully he will be fine :) i really think he has some type of stomach virus or something because if he did inhale that stuff wouldn't he have respiratory problems?
Just take him to the vet ASAP!!! And give the vet ALL of the details!!!

No one here can really tell you what is wrong with yur dog because we can't examine him. I think the best thing is to keep the vet appointment. It is good to try to keep him drinking. Landscapers frequently use herbicides that can indeed make your dog very ill. In the future, don't let him onlt the lawn until a week after any spraying is done. Take him to an unsprayed part of your property on a leash for his 'business'. Good luck. I hope it all is OK.

my dog acted like this too for a while. we took him in on the day the vet wasnt open and the vet came in and did x rays and stuff and then told us he had a blockage in his intestine. before we took him though he wouldnt move off of his bed. he wouldnt eat. and when he did eat he threw it back up. and he only drank a little bit. then a few months ago we found a puppy tied to a tree on a dead end road and we took him in and the vet did an exploratory surgery because he had something lodged in his intestines again and they took it out and he was as good as new. he also had the same symptoms as my other dog and ur dog. this may be the issue. most times it comes out fine and for our surgery on our first dog was 250 dollars. and for the puppy it was about 500 because we took him to a different vet. but seriously take him to the vet asap. good luck

7 isn't old at ALL for a Cockapoo ... well you are doing the right thing taking him to the vet. He may have gotten into some chemicals. Pet him, make him feel safe, make sure he has water. i hope he will be O.K. ... let us know how he does! You guys are in my thoughts.

The first thing you can do is to take deep breaths. This behavior can come from any # of things. It could be bladder stones. This is painful to the dog causing him not to move much. But then again it could just be some kind of stomach bug or flu. The last thing he needs is dehydration, so keep giving him water (or moving him to the water bowl) and taking him out to potty. Good Luck!!

Take him to the vet ASAP. in case you may desire to, get somebody to tension you. There may well be relatively some issues incorrect - he might have eaten something he would not have, he might have something neurological occurring, or the different form of issues. additionally, cats can't circulate very long devoid of eating (i does no longer say extra desirable than 24 hours or so), or they're going to initiate going into liver failure. that still is very severe and extremely costly to treatment (i'm nevertheless paying off a $1k vet bill from this summer season because of my cat getting ill and going into liver failure). in case you like him, get him to the vet.

Well, you don't say if he's been drinking lots of water.
7 isn't really all that old, for a cockapoo, but obviously he
is sick.
You haven't been feeding any of that old recall food, right?
Hope he turns out to be okay...sounds kinda serious, though.

do you get his boosters every year, if so it could be that he is getting old or that he just doesn't feel well but if you are not up on the boosters i would be very worried about parvo
