I'm really struggling and would really appreciate some advice, our dear old spaniel is very poorly and we're heartbroken.
I have another thread here about how he went off his food and vet thought dental op might help, but its not his teeth. He's nearly 14 he's now on a drip and has been for 36 hrs. He has not eaten for 5 days yet continues to have severe diarrhea. The vet describes him as still flat, no better than when I took him (he was very poorly I had to carry him in). They have run bloods but nothing obvious found. He now has abdominal pain which he didn't have yesterday, they've scanned his abdomin and found nothing obvious - even though there is a mass on his ribs that was obvious to me and the first vet we saw.
When my sisters dog died she went just the same way for a couple of weeks beforehand. Our vet says he will keep doing more tests but I'm worried we may be prolonging his pain and suffering
