I think I'd get her to the vet. How old of a dog is she?

Vet asap but sounds sorta like antifreeze if so there is nothing they can do for her.  Lost the best dog I ever had to antifreeze poisoning.

Sounds a lot like CHP or coon hound paralysis. Vets have a hard time diagnosing it, and it is not as common here in the south. But dogs get it here too and the symptoms you describe sound identical to it

she's only two. my wife just called me and let me know that she just got up and peed in the floor which makes me happy at this point. but im still taking off work early to take her to the vet though. i checked her gums last night and they had good color but when i would left up the hair on her back it'd stay for a couple of seconds. thats when i started giving her pedialite and gatorade. dont they put something in antifreeze now that makes it not hurt dogs? i was thinking i heard that somewhere.

They sometimes put stuff in to make it taste bad. But not all have it. Always be real careful with anitfreeze because will smell it and go find it. Anytime I spill any I get the hose wash it off of all cement and into the dirt or where I can and then water it down more. So nothing can drink it. Antifreeze is real bad if any animal is around.

it would've had to have been someone give it to her cause my kennels are in my backyard with privacy fence all around my house except front yard... intire backyard fenced in though. just dont understand why someone would even do something like that. my dogs dont bother anyone and only bark if someone knocks on my door. i have 2 other dogs and 2 puppys and everyone else just fine. i just dont understand  Sad

If you ever have a dog drink antifreeze force at least 20ml of peroxide down its throat ASAP. Peroxide will not hurt the dog but will make it vomit and keep the antifreeze from absorbing in the bloodstream. I would do this a few times after the dog vomits the first time. I was lucky awhile back had 2 dogs get into a bucket of antifreeze I called my vet and he told me the peroxide trick. I thought I would share this tip.

yeah i was told that last night by a friend thats done that and worked before. but he also said it was almost right away, and i have no idea when this happened. she just fell out all of a sudden, been acting a little weird for a few days but she was still running around and playing, all that good stuff just the day before yesterday, and i still dont know what it is exactly. i just cant stand the fact of someone poisioning this dog for no reason what so ever. and why only her whenever theres 2 other dogs and 2 other puppys right beside her. i just dont get it.

Two words "camera system" do not buy the junk. If you want a good camera system I consulted my cousin that does security and makes security systems for casinos. I do not sell them but I can tell you not to get those ir cameras they sell everywhere if you want a picture of the person that is clear. I do have strategies for camera placement to get a great picture of anyone messing with my dogs Wink I will not post them on here for the thieves to see. But I did get some great advice that I will share with some people if they ask in a PM. If someone messes with my dogs I will have a quality picture to give to the police, news or anybody else. The best part is that they will never even see the cameras Grin
