this morning, my dog is more lethargic than usual, and she hasnt eaten or drank any water. Probably will have no choice but to take it to the vet Friday or even tomorrow hopefully there will be one open.

Seattle, if your dog is still lethargic and off her food and water, don't wait much longer to get her to the vet. If she's not drinking, she can become dehydrated quickly. Two things you can check-her temp (if you don't have a thermometer, feel the pads of her feet, her armpits and the inside of her thighs). If she feels hot there, she may have a temp. Also lift her lip and press on her gum for a few seconds. See how quickly the color returns to normal after you release the pressure. Deb

I would take her to the vet. She may have a blockage in her intestinal track or stomach. Let me know how you make out. Deb

my doggy got through it fine, thanks for the advice and well wishes. She started to eat and drink up on Friday. Never have I been so happy to see poop and piss on the floor

All I can tell you to do is get another dog.It is never easy to lose a pet,but I think it helps a little to have another young and healthy one around to love.They would probably demand your attention(and love,)and help you move on a little better.We all know you're in a tough spot(with an 18 yr old dog.)Some of us have been in the same situation,and sometimes younger dogs are the distraction that will make it easier to deal with.
