What are you waiting for? Take him to the vet today. It could be a simple virus or a serious blockage. Something's causing him to not eat and get sick. If I hadn't eaten in 3 days, I'd have no energy either.

There are so many things that could be wrong. The best thing to do is to take your dog to the vet and have it checked out. The vet is the only one who can tell you what's wrong and then treat it. If your dog hasn't eaten in 3 days, and all it wants to do is lie down, I would get it to the vet ASAP! Hope it's nothing serious!

Has he had all his vaccinations?
If not you need to consider that he may have a disease such as parvo virus parvovirus can overwhelm a dog within hours of the first symptoms and result in death within 48-72 hours.
Found throughout the world, parvo is a highly contagious disease that attacks the intestinal tract, the white blood cells, and sometimes the heart. It is spread through contact with the feces of infected dogs and can be carried on shoes, crates, equipment, or on the hair or feet of infected dogs. One infected dog at a show, a canine expo, a charity walk, a shelter, a boarding kennel, or any other event or facility where dogs congregate can spread the virus to hundreds of unprotected dogs.
Symptoms of parvo appear five-to-seven days after exposure and include depression, loss of appetite, vomiting, and severe diarrhea. Feces are generally light gray or yellow-gray and may be streaked with blood. Puppies under the age of six months are most susceptible to the disease. If the virus attacks the heart, puppies can die within hours or live for a few weeks or months. Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers appear to be at higher risk for parvo than other breeds.
PLEASE GO TO A VET NOW EVEN IF ITS NOT PARVO
no healthy dog has the symptoms you describe it is possible to recover from most dog diseases but parvo needs immediate attention and regardless of what the diagnosis is he sounds very sick

would your mother have done this to you if you were ill as a child .... I think not!!!
she would have taken you to the doctor if your were sick, she wouldn't have just let you lie there not knowing what was wrong with you and just going about her business
this is your dog, take care of it .... it needs to go to the vet and you must know that.... next you will asking us if it is ok to bury a dog in your backyard
go to the vet

Perhaps you should take her to the vet?! How long are you planning to wait before doing this exactly? Do it before she develops worse symptom. 3 days is a long time to wait.

Please take the dog to the VET! He sounds like he needs help. How old is he? Has he had his shots? Treat your dog with care. He's trying to tell you he need a vet-that a doctor for dogs. Call a Vet and describe the dog symtoms. Do something PLEASE for the poor thing!

Can you say VET??? or are you just stupid enough to let your dog continue being sick until he dies for lack of medical attention?

He could have a blockage.... throwing up, lethargy, loss of appetite. Get him to the vet, blockages are usually fatal.
