I can't get anyone to give my dog treatment

Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble getting treatment for your dog. Let's see if I can help guide you a bit.



There could be a few reasons your dog needs treatment. Common causes for a dog needing veterinary attention include upset stomachs, skin irritations, limping, or not seeming themselves lately. Often, these can be signs of something relatively minor like dietary indiscretions, allergies, or a slight injury, but they can also indicate more serious conditions, like a blockage, infection, or underlying disease.



For at-home care, ensure your dog is comfortable and has access to fresh water. If their issue isn't gastrointestinal, you might try offering them a bland diet like boiled chicken and rice, which is gentle on their stomach. If they seem itchy, a plain oatmeal bath might help soothe their skin. Always approach interactions gently to avoid exacerbating injuries.



Keep an eye out for alarming signs such as persistent vomiting, trouble breathing, swollen abdomen, lethargy, seizures, or severe pain. These symptoms can be indicators of more severe issues that need urgent veterinary care.



I understand how worrying this is, especially when it's hard to get treatment. I highly recommend booking a video consult with a vet via Dial A Vet. They can provide you with expert advice tailored to your dog's specific situation and help you decide on the next steps.
