I need help urgently- my dog is down with Jaundice. His eyes, tongues, urine and skin has turn yellow. The Vet. Dr. has been treating him for some days now with slight or no improvement. He does not eat and he is very weak. We are also giving Doxycycline Capsules. Kindly help some advice on how I can help the dog. He is the most loyal among my dogs.

So how's your dog!!!!!!any improvement

Problem is some peeps are just so immature to know when to take issues seriously, and prefer rendering childish jokes.
Samdede, you could google some materials to determine if there is anything you could do in the interim. However, i remember there is a vet in this forum, drgbaks, who could also assist . All the best

I am so sorry for the heart ache, Get a syringe and force fees the dog, ensure it gets fluids and electrolytes (ORS), and add some pap, ensure by any means it eats, about he yellowish discolouration of the urine is caused by the dehydration. Besides what is the vetinary doctor treating it for? in the mean time get it ORS and keep pushing the fluid mixture into his mouth. You dog would be alright.

Thank you for the encouragement. I came to nairaland in tears to get some hints from experienced breeders and some guys were making jest of my pet.

The dog has started picking up gradually. He is eating little by little. And his urine is clearing gradually but his eyes and skin is still yellowish. But the vet said he will come out of it. We are still giving anti-biotic and multivitamin. I must appreciate the hope you gave me.

You should have rushed to another vet instead of wsiting for symptoms, I just hope it wasn't a puff adder that bit your dog.. Kerosene and mud will do absolutely nothing, what the dog needs is anti inflammatory pain killers, ivabx, steroids and anti venom if available, in the interim, try and minimise the dogs movement.. good luck..
