My dog, Bear Bear, a 10-year-old Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, has not eaten since Friday, has been hiding under the bed for three days, and only recently peed. He tries to bite when I try to get him out and has been difficult to give medicine to. What should I do to help him, and is it urgent to get him to a vet?

The dog ate a whole bag of Dentastix. The dog weighs approximately 20 lbs and is named Pepper, aged 8. It was around 4:30 pm when this happened, and the dog has not vomited since. What should be done, and are there any concerns about internal blockages?
