Dog dying from old age?

Question

My dog is 13 years old. The past few days she has decided not to eat anything, but she keeps throwing up dark brown (nearly) black liquid, the consitancy of really runny diarrhea. She's also become very inactive and sleepy. I try to force liquids down her throat, but she simply throws that up... alone with more of the black. Could these be symptoms of dying from old age/her organs shutting down?

Answer 1

ahh, yes unfortunately it is! If your dog is not eating, getting sick, and goes to the bathroom all over the place I think it's a good time to put it to sleep. I'm sorry I wish your dog was better! My dog is dying of cancer, and we have to put her down soon. The vet said if she get's the symptoms like your dog has, then it's best to put her down.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU8kp

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Contrary to what everyone is saying while this is a sign your dog is very ill, it is NOT a sign that she is nessary dying (unless you do nothing). Been there done that and the dog besides was so far into circulatory collapse, the vet couldn't get a blood sample (he didn't bleed) - that was seven years ago, the dog is on the sofa chewing a bone...

....what a sad coincidence. the exact same thing happened to my sisters 13 year old dog just this week. Black poop and vomit. She stopped eating and drinking. Then she went totally paralyszed and couldn't walk anymore. She was pooping where she was laying and they had to wash her butt because it was so messy. It was so sad. Finally my BIL had no other choice but take her to the vet and get her put to sleep . It was very quick and the dog felt no pain whatsoever.
I hate to even tell you all this, because I know how hard it is going to be for you to make the decision cuz I bet your love your pet very much. When you are rerady, you will know when it is time to take your dog in. I will say a prayer for you.
I feel bad for you and your dog...

Depending on the breed and size, 13 is or isn't old.

Small dogs can live to over 20.

Take her to the vet. She is suffering and it is inhumane to let her suffer like this at the end of her life (if that is what it is).

It sounds like she is bleeding internally.

Your dog is not only dying, it's a slow painful death. Take her to your vet & have her put down asap. No dog should have to suffer like that.

Answer 9

it could be. it sure doesn't sound very good.black is a sign of blood coming from somewhere.has she gotten into poison or ate something bad?u should take her to a vet and if she is dying they can put her down so she won't be suffering.so sorry but only a vet can tell u whats going on.

Answer 10

Could be just old age. I just lost my 16 year old too. But I would have taken her to the vet at the first sign of trouble so she would not have suffered in case she was.
