What do I feed my sick dog?

My miniature dachshund has been sick for several weeks and we cant get her to keep any food down. We have given her pedialite and she is drinking a lot of water but every time we try to give her any kind of solid food she throws it back up.

Answer #1

I’m assuming that you have not taken your dog to the vet for diagnosis and treatment. May I ask you why you have allowed your dog to go on like this for weeks, with no help? That doesn’t make sense to me! I would think that you would have taken your dog to the vet weeks ago. There is something seriously wrong with your dog and if you don’t get off the computer and get the poor thing to the vet NOW, you may lose her. No matter what you try to feed her, if she’s not keeping any food down, nothing you give her at this point will stay down. You are putting your dog in danger and you are Breaking the Law, by not providing your dog with veterinary care. It is Against the Law and considered Animal Abuse, when a pet is sick or injured and you don’t take it to the vet immediatelyfor diagnosis and treatment! I don’t understand how anyone can do that to an innocent animal that cannot help themselves and counting on you to help them. Only a vet can tell you what’s wrong! Drop whatever you are doing and get your poor dog in, before she dies. I hope for your dogs sake that it’s not too late already, because you neglected to provide her with the care she so desperately needs. I find that very sad! I hope that by the time you get this answer, that your dog has received medical care!
