Addiction is a chronic brain disease that induces compulsive activity, despite health, social and legal consequences. A person may seem to make a voluntary choice to try a drug or begin a type of behavior, but a variety of genetic and environmental factors influence those decisions.
Expert: Theresa replied 8 years ago. Symptoms of a dying dog include, lack of appetite, pale, blue, or gray gums, dry gums, inability to stand, dilated pupils, difficulty breathing, unresponsiveness, and neurologic symptoms. A dog can live for a couple weeks without enough food and water.
Knowing that you gave your dog rawhide you should assume that she has a blockage and get her to a vet to be examined. Symptoms depend on the level and location of the blockage within the digestive tract, but commonly the dog will vomit, have poor appetite, and have difficulty defecating. Obstructions can only be removed by surgery, if not death can occur. http://www.k911.biz/Petsafety/Rawhideand...
