My dog is a pit-lab mix, approximately 4 yrs.,70 lbs. Recently had episodes of shaking his head, ears cleaned of wax. No evidence of wax, fungus, bacteria present. Dog is lethargic, cowering, insists on being close to me, appears to be frightened, easily startled, often tries to hide. Seems confused. Frequently sticks tongue out and like mouth is dry,licking lips. Occasionally has periods of shivering (like chills) followed by heavy panting, like he's hot.
Most recent visit to vet, blood work was basically normal. Vets say heart and lungs are good. In generally good health...no answer to his odd behavior.

Please take your pet to the vet asap. Has your pet been coughing, losing sleep/and or sleeping more. Weigh your dog as well, see if there is a weight change, up or down, especially the enlargement in the abdomen. This could be indicative of congestive heart failure and can be treated with medications and a diet plan as well.

My dog got into our trash can. We took her to the vet and he stated that she had pancreatitis. He gave the a shot ob baytirl and a shot of centine. He also put her on baytril (pill form) for 6 days. One day she is fine and the next day she may vomit a bit. Could the antibiotic pill be making her sick? Otherwise she appears to be on the mend. Pam

Some serious conditions are vomiting, diarrhea, shivering, weight loss, and lethargy. I have a dog that i adopted from an animal shelter and she had worms really bad, well i took her to the vet and got her dewormed and got her started on all of her shots, she got better the day after and then that night she woke me up vomiting and this lasted for about three days along with everything listed above.She would not eat nor drink anything. I could not afford to take her back to the vet so i took it upon myself to get her better. I started with giving her a small dose of pepto about a half a teaspoon, then i would take a small paper cup and put a little Gatorade in it and hold her mouth open so i could force it in her.( don't give to much at a time) Then i started with getting a medicine dropper and mixing sugar with Gatorade and forcing that in her, And to keep her warm i just wrapped her up in a blanket. I really did not think she was gonna make it , she looked so pitiful , she was nothing but skin and bones --but she ended up getting better just because i did not give up on her. SO PLEASE NEVER GIVE UP IF YOUR DOG GETS SICK, I GOT MINE TO SURVIVE SO CAN YOU!
