okay, so my dog is a dachshund… he’s always had big ***. i thought it was funny til i found out that the thing it has to be drained. recently, his nipple has been swelling. it’s really red and twice the size of his other nipples. but he was so healthy so i thought it just got irritated. then yesterday, he’s been stretching like this http://www.pergament.net/images/dogStretch.jpg and stays like that for minutes. he lost weight in just a snap and he hasn’t been standing up eversince. can anyone tell me what the hell’s happening to my dog? does he have a worm or something? what are the signs and symptoms?

My dog is sick again. Vomiting after eating, coughing, vomiting phlem, sleeps a lot and itchy eyes. No fever, no diarrhea.
After these symptoms came and went, he then had muscle weakness- he couldn’t hold himself up to even pee!
He’s been just fine for a few weeks. We took him to a park a couple of days ago where he ran and got hot. He had some muscle weakness, but it went away.
Now we’re back at square one with the vomiting, coughing, sleepy, and itchy eyes.
He had labs done (looks like P2A and CBC- I’m a RN, but a people RN), x-rays, tested for tick borne diseases no intestinal or heart worms. His WBC was low- Vet. said that indicated a virus. Albumin & Amylase were low, and Alk Phosphatase was high. He was tx with antibiotics for aspiration pneumonia and a NSAID. He did great with the NSAID, so I put him on some Etodolac.
It seems overdoing it on a hot day but him back at square one.
I took out a loan to pay for all this, I can’t financial do it again. Help!
