Poorly Dog

[REDCHEQHEN]

Female Westie - spayed - 10 years old approx. Vaccinations up to date

 

Normally a little overweight

 

Green discharge from eyes and nose, lethargic, hasn't eaten for 5 days now and weighs 8.2kg (lost over 1kg)

 

Went to vets Monday, anti sickness injection given and Fucidin eye ointment (and a bill for £63)

 

The internet can be a help or a hindrance (distemper? Surely not?)

 

She is just disinterested in everything and lies on her bed doesn't even respond when you shout her name unless you nudge her,

slight improvement with eyes and nose discharge but no improvement with appetite, disappointed with vet who seemed to do a lot

of unnecessary things and not enough to find out what is wrong. Any ideas? How long can dogs go without eating? Daughter has another

dog - is this contagious?
