My mutt of a dog Coco (german sheppard, rotweiler, border collie, beagel), is a very happy,active dog. He doesn’t act sick and he doesn’t act like anything is wrong. As far as I know, he has been eating, but his spine is sticking out and I can see his ribs.
I plan on taking him to the vet, but I’d like to know what to expect. If it is something like a worm, wouldn’t he act like he is sick or something is wrong with him? Is there any signs or symptoms? How much would it cost to get something like that removed?
Also, do you have any advice on getting him to eat?

I have a very healthy 5-6 year mini pincher. She is the the most lively, happy go lucky, fun, loud, beautiful dog. Her coat is absolutely shiny and gorgeous. But for the last 5 days she has been completely out of it.
The first day I noticed I put her on the grass to use the restroom, and she froze and then Collapsed on her back and all fours were up in the air. It was like she was having a seizure. From that day on she has been declining very rapidly.
Symptoms:
-No Appetite
-Incontinent (only a total of 2 BM’s in 5 days)
-Wobbly when she stands
-Can’t hold herself up
-Constantly trembling
-Very Weak
-No expression
-Possible temporary blindness(noticed today)
-doesn’t move
-her snot smells like death
-she hurts when I touch her
-her breathing gets worst by the day
-walks like she literally DRUNK
-rusty color poop (I checked it and theres no worms)
-has droopy face
I feel so helpless. I cried all day yesterday and last night. She is my best friend and I am truly fearing for her life. Im taking her to the vet, but I would still like to hear, what others may think it could be…She is very very very sick, and is not improving. She has been under my observation for 4 days straight. And its driving my insane. She is very well built (muscular wise), very HEALTHY, active and its drastic to see her like this…does anyone know what this could be???
Its like taking a completely healthy 18 year old child, and watching them one day smile laugh and play, and then the next, practically dead…Please someone, what could this be???

episodes. any ideas what it is? Please do not say take him to the vet, his appt is tomorrow, i just want to know kind of what to expect. i was told it may be tapeworms, and the seizures are because his blood sugar is too low due to the worms. he had fleas really bad when i bought him, so that kind of fits. what do you think?
