My dog was injured with a few cuts on his back, since then, he had been losing weight rapidly. These are a few things that i can observed :
- He seems very thirsty, drink a lot.
- His eyes were waterly.
- He breathe very soundly.
He’s still eats as much as he used to eat and still active.
I suspect its a worm problem that caused it. My dog accidentally drank poison 2 years ago but we managed to saved him. Could damaged kidney symptom show up this late? ( as losing weight could caused by kidney problem)

today she started showing a bladder control issue, she was laying down and she peeed, i am really stressed out not full of money, any ideas, or thoughts she is not just a “dog”, she is a huge part of my life, she is like one of my children, in fact i call my kids her sibs, sick with it hu? anyway i am scared to death she has something really worng, i looked up some stuff and keep coming back with kidney issus, and ready for this, a rare type of bladder parasite caused from contact with earth worms, even better? ive had earth worm farms on and off the past two years, WOW! shes going to the vet this week, any ideas on finding a low cost one or any organizations that may help, maybe pitt bull lovers? thanks for any advise or thoughts on this. oh ya, her name? Zoie, shes a love bug, loves dogs, cats, birds, even rats… she is fixed and up to date on all her shots, she is the best….

I changed her food about 2 months ago to a better, more protein food. I switched her back (to Iams) to see if that is the problem. You can see her ribs and vertabrae. She is still eating, and does not have any other symptoms. From what I can tell, I don’t think she has worms. She has updated shots as well. My vet is not cheap and I have a low budget, any suggestions?
