Is my dear dog going to die?

10 yr. old male shih tzu who has stopped eating, has been drinking water less frequently, and has become inactive and prefers to hide in small spaces. He also has a smelly greenish-yellow liquid coming from his private area. He has problems pooping, and what does come out is runny and dark. What should I do?

I absolutely agree with Janis. There is nothing much we can do, but maybe a lot a vet could do. I hope he will be okay.

I don't know how long this has been going on BUT I
can tell you without doubt..IF...
as you say ".He also has a smelly greenish-
yellow liquid coming from his private area. He has
problems pooping, and what does come out is

Greenish-yellow liquid sound like a possible
serious infection-runny,dark poo could be
old blood...LEAVE THIS SITE AND TAKE
HIM TO YOUR VET RIGHT NOW!!!
Please come back and let us know how
he is doing?
