Type of Pet: pitt/labrador mix (mutt)
Question: My pet was recently attacked
by another dog. He had no broken bones and was given an antibiotic
shot and pills for a swollen leg. The leg has healed but my dog
has no appetite, is listless, and seems to be willing himself
to die. Is this normal for dogs and how can I get my pets spirit
back!!!,
ANSWER:
If your pet is as sick as you portray, it needs to be taken to
a vet immediately and evaluated for other problems. Not wanting
to eat is not normal; neither is protracted listlessness. It could
be anything from a reaction to medication (depending on how long
ago) to an unrelated problem. Don't wait. Your pet needs to be
seen immediately! Good luck!
