    Need advice

    I have an 11 year old bull terrier. She began panting and whining one night. She had eaten half a wood pencil a few days before but she pooped it out. The poop was very dry and tight. She labored breathing and kept getting up to get a comfortable position. We took her to the emergency vet on Sat. and they did x-rays. No obstruction but alot of gas. They sent us home w/meds and gave her IV's since she was very dehydrated. She slept better on SAt. but labored very hard all day Sunday and did not drink or eat. We took her back that evening. They took a blood sample thinking is may be addison's disease but all was good. I took her in today, Monday this am and again, no diagnosis then gas. They gave her an injection for inflammation and she stopped her labored breathing but not her whining.
    If she does not eat and drink tomorrow, we probably have to put her down since she cannot go 3 days w/out drinking and eating.
    Has anyone experienced anything similar with their dog?

    Thanks...
