Please help us.

I have a female lasha Apso, she is 11 years old and I'm extremely worried.
My dog hasn't been eating properly for the past  six days, she refuses to eat his  normal food so we've been cooking him rice/eggs/meat/liver etc. Then after a while he doesn't eat herself unless we feed her by handsHand or foot spasms
Hand tremor..and now she doesn't eat at all.  Though she does eat some type of snacks. Now, she doesn't seem to have the energy to get up. He would try to get up but his legs seems to be weak or something. I tried helping her up and everything but I don't know what is wrong. Just now, she got up to drink some water but I noticed that she was sort of limping. I'm really worried and I don't know what to do. Please help me figure out what could be the problem and why is she sick. Is she depressed? Bored of food? Thank you so much for your time.

Hello Niki & welcome....I agree w/ the others...Your girl needs a doctor....

Your girl is not depressed or bored...She's in PAIN and doesn't feel like eating...

The spasms and the unwilling to get up are clear indications of Joint or Spinal Pain....The limping fits, also....

Please, make her an appointment with your Vet ASAP....This may just be a case of Arthritis, but your Vet needs to prescribe Anti-inflammatories for her....They work wonders and will give her an excellent quality of life.....Dogs get Arthritis just as we Humans do!

Don't make the mistake of trying to treat this yourself......The prescription meds. from the Vet are the safest....Once you get her pain under control, she will feel like eating.....

Don't wait too long....As without food/water, dehydration occurs (Especially in a small dog) and can be Fatal......

Let us know what you find out & how she's doing...Good Luck, Karla

Definitely need to be seen by a Vet.  Due to the age of the dog, any number of things could be going on.
I doubt she is depressed.  Could be anything from dental issues to something internal or systemic.
