Symptoms of dog organ failure before death

If a dog experiences organ failure, the symptoms before death may include lethargy, refusal to eat, or hiding in corners and not wanting to come out. Additionally, there may be signs of wound ulceration that does not heal, a crooked tongue, and a lower body temperature. If owners notice these symptoms, they are advised to prepare in advance.

What are the general symptoms of a dog's organ failure before death?

1. The first indication of a physical abnormality in a dog may be observed in their diet. If the owner notices unusual eating habits, lethargy, or a lack of sensitivity to their name, it may be a sign of impending death.

2. Many dogs like to hide in corners or places like under beds and in bathrooms before they die. Some may even escape from the house due to inadequate supervision and never return.

3. The dog's wound healing speed will slow down, and the skin's ulceration rate will accelerate, even producing a unpleasant smell like never before.

4. Some pets will involuntarily lean their heads to one side and their tongues will constantly protrude and unable to retract before death.

5. Vomiting and incontinence of bowel movements are also signs that the pet's cognitive awareness is still clear, but it has lost control of its physiological functions. If the excrement turns yellow, becomes turbid, or even contains blood, it means the pet is close to death.

6. If a dog, who has been relatively calm, suddenly becomes agitated and noisy, or suddenly gains strength to get up and go outside for a walk with its owner after lying down for days, these phenomena are most likely "the last flicker of life."
