dog won't eat and need some help

[Officially Retired]

good looking out nut and S_B the dog is is on a yard with about 12 dogs and thats exactly what i told him liver and red cell if he won't eat that try vanilla wafers just to get him to eat i thought it might be intestinal blockage and if thats the case i told him to give him as much sauerkraut as u can because my buddy told me this old vet told him it can help them pass stuff and he says he has see a dog pass everything from rocks to a half a leach. Has anyone else heard of using sauerkraut?Also S_B will Doxycycline kill Babesia? thinks for all the help

Sauerkraut won't do a thing for intestinal blockage. That "old vet" is an imbecile.

The only chance for blockage is a boatload of mineral oil, maybe a full cup, but even that chance is small.
(It is easy to tell if a dog has blockage, it will VOMIT OUT every time it drinks water ... babesia dogs won't.)

If a dog has an actual, lodged blockage ... this is a bigger emergency than Babesia, and the dog won't last more than 1 (or two days) most.

If the dog will nibble, and keep things down, and has pale gums, it is prolly babesia.

If the dog won't eat at all, and especially if it vomits-out absolutely everything it eats, take that dog to the vet or it will be DEAD by Tuesday.
