dDog wont move,not her normal self.

Shaa

I cant figure it out, she is always smiling (yes she smiles) and happy but a week ago on a walk she just stopped walking and her legs SHOOK real bad. Had to drive her back home. Now she wont walk,smile, eat,drink or anything. All she does is lay there and vomit once in awhile. Its like someone switched dogs on me. We thought id was joint treat/meds a friend gave us cause we thought her bad leg was the cause, but we stopped givin em to her and shes still like a lump.Anyones help would be much appr. Thank you for your time.

  It could be old age, depending on how old she is.  You would be best to have her checked by a vet to be 100% sure on whats going on with her.  The vet would be able to give you the best action to take with her.

  Thank you for your quick response. Upon further searches today it has come to my conclusion, as hard as it is to believe, it was caused by Sergeants Skip-Flea and Tick bath. This is a far reach of a conclusion, but my family agrees that when we bathed her with that after our first dog used up our normal shampoo, two days after that is when this started. At which was also the time (2days later) we thought it was the joint meds. If you do a search with that as the search (the shampoo name) your find might upset you, being a vet. Unfortunately, I regret to say alittle after the first message Shaa passed this morning. I was actually going to bath her in Dawn dish soap since one of the sites say thats what the Sergeants help line says to do to get the Flea "pesticide" out of the dogs skin. My only hope/cause is to get pple, as yourself, to help stop the use of this product. Please. Noone should watch a loved one pass because you bathed them. Once again, thank you for your fast response.
