Hello there,
I'm really sorry to hear your senior dog isn't feeling well. Our older furry friends can experience various health issues, so let's explore what might be going on.
As pets age, they can face challenges like arthritis, dental problems, or kidney issues. Sudden changes in weight, increased thirst, or difficulty moving? Those can often signal something's off, and sometimes it's as simple as discomfort from aching joints.
At home, ensure your dog has a cozy, easily accessible spot to rest. A softer bed can help with joint pain. Keep food and water within easy reach and consider using a harness for additional support during walks.
However, be on the lookout for more pressing signs. If your dog is refusing food or water, having trouble breathing, vomiting, or displaying confusion, these could be signs of something more serious that needs immediate attention.
I'd recommend setting up a video consult with Dial A Vet. This way, we can dive a little deeper into your dog’s specific symptoms and come up with a tailored care plan. It's all about ensuring the best possible comfort and care for your pup.
Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
