It is time to take your dog to the vet. She is in pain and it's cruel to let her die this way.I'm so sorry. It's the hardest decision you have to make.

Sorry to break it to you but the best thing to do would be to have her put down, unless you find another option really quick. But I think that the nicest thing to do would be to have her put down, it won't hurt and it sounds like shes in alot of pain- put her out of her suffering.

Get to the vet asap. My neighbor's dog recently died from congestive heart failure. This is how he was acting on the day that he died. We couldn't get him to eat or drink anything and when she finally got him to go out she couldn't get him to come back in. His breathing was extremely labored so he went to the e-vet and went straight in an oxy-chamber. Later that night he started coughing up blood. I'm so sorry.

Oh, i am so sorry to hear about your baby. You need to call your vet and he will more then likely tell you to bring her in. My baby passed in Oct. and he had the same problems. The only thing was that he had a heart murmur. He didn't want to eat, get out of his bed, even going out to the bathroom was ruff. He even tried to hide under our bed... I felt so bad. Talk to your vet there is other options then putting them down. If she is not in any pain there is no reason to put her down. Sometimes the vet can give you something to keep her content and comfortable till it's her time. That is so sad. I am praying that she will be ok.I also want to add that you will probably be spending a lot of time at the vets office for awhile. My baby started with falling over and from then on we was at the vets office a whole lot. The vet would set up a 10 day check up and i was calling him back in 3 days then he would keep the 10 day check up and i was calling back in 2 days sometimes the next day. I was at the vets office 3 sometimes 4 times I would even go as far to say sometimes 5 or 6 times before my 10 days was even up. Then i was there on the 10th day. I swear we lived at the vets office for a month.
