    Im bringing the dog into the vet in the morning but Im wondering if anyone has any idea what could be wrong with him? Im pretty worried at this point.
    He is completely listless for two days now and will not eat a thing. He’s a stray (we took him in 3 months ago) so Im not sure if he has his vaccinations or not. Could it be a simple stomach bug? He’s not vomited to my knowledge. The other two dogs (vaccinated) are completely fine.

    Its hard to say tbh, 2 or 3 days is a long time for a dog to be sick, they usually recover very fast. Hope he's going to be O.K.

    Does he drool, does he have a temperature? Is he drinking water? You have had him for three months, why wasnt he vacc'd?

    Poor fella RIP :( , I've heard terrible stories relating to rat poison, the stuff should be banned tbh. I'd hate to think it was deliberate, how anyone could do such a thing is beyond me . I know who I'd be feeding the stuff if I found out that they did it.:mad:
