Please help me help my dog

My dog was in heat for far too long, its been like 3 weeks or more, the bleeding was horrible at first but it toned down over time.She also stoped eating (its hot, she's in heat, my mother is gone so she misses her...), and hasn't eaten ANYTHING in a few days! That (and the blood loss) made her extremly weak, and now she can barely hold herself up on her paws!

So, today I said, enough is enough, and called the vet. He thinks its some sort of hormonal imbalance and gave her injections :

vit C,B,D : for apettite
vit K : to stop the bleeding a bit
and 130 ml (10 shots) of glucose

He said we'll have to wait till the evening to see some results.The bleeding is reduced but there is still some.She still wouldn't eat or drink, so I gave her 50g of dextrose in water and made her drink it (my father who is a doctor said it can't do harm, it could only help).The vet was here at 13:00, she drank the dex at 18:00 (I just did that this second)

What do yall think I should do next?

OMG you got a vet that is into HRT?!

dood if that vet is a hot chick.. OMG jackpot!

try to give her meat i guess :confused:
if animals hormonal system are a bit like ours the dex should make her hungry

oh yeah sorry bout your dog... but she should be fine..

She won't eat ANYTHING (not even ham from my hand), and yes I was thinking the same thing about the dex

Don't know if this will help, bor, but have you tried fried chicken? I'm being serious...our dogs (english mastiffs) have eaten that when they wouldn't eat anything else( this was after surgery for kidney stones, 1 had seizures, etc.)..as long as the vet ok's her eating something..I'd definitely give it a try..Once they start eating again, they'll often continue to regain their appetite..good luck....

..hormone imbalances can wreak havok with the female's cycle...definitely try to keep the fluids going....

cheese yellow soft cheese...
i have never seen a dog of any type not EAT IT

how old is she???

Fried chicken sounds good!

She's 9 years old, an irish setter....

Just make it chicken nuggets. A dog will eat the chicken bones and risk getting the hollow bones stuck in the throat. If it's got bones, strip it off the bones first.
