Frankenstein is a 10 year old 19 lb pug. I switched her food to an adult food over a year ago and she's always had a 1/2 cup in the morning and 1/2 cup at night, no problems. For the past week she's woken me up at 4:30 and 5:30 am (she typically sleeps throughout the night) and the only thing she wanted was her food. I tried feeding her a little later, tried giving her a treat before bed, etc. I read on the food label she should have 1 1/4 cup/day so I could try feeding her more, I'm just worried about her gaining weight (the vet said to try to get a lb or two off at her age). She doesn't act this way during the day, only at night.

Duke has never acted like a typical lab. He's never shown interest in food lying around, he never gets in the trash, is a picky water and typically won't eat anything without being told to do so. Recently, he has started acting like he's constantly starving. He has even gotten food of the kitchen table. 1.) He's never done that 2.) It was donuts. He's never eaten sweets even if he was given them. He's picky. Also, he's been drooling a lot out of nowhere. Drool just hangs from his mouth regularly. He also has a small bump (about the size of a grape) on his side, near his ribs. It doesn't seem sore, it's not red and hasn't gotten any bigger. I am so confused by what could be going on with him. His behavior is so off from his norm. And I'm terrified of knowing because he's 7 :( Any idea what I should be preparing myself and my young daughters for?

My boy suddenly loss 10lbs in 2 weeks and has lost another 5 lbs last week (15lbs in 3 weeks) he is now losing muscle mass and is basically skin and bones now. Starving constantly and having fly snapping syndrome which went from once in a while to almost daily in last week and and half. Vet ran cbc and thyroid. And only thing that came back was EOS was elevated...he tried prednisone for the inflammation and treated for worms even though none showed on test....no change...just started phenobarbital and still had two seizures in which he becomes more agitated each time. I'm feeding him the kcal needed for a 120 lbs great dane and he is only 95lbs now...plus miracle vet weight supplement.....have given rice to add carbs too....vet is at a loss he is dying in front of me.....maybe CNS disorder? Tumor? I don't know. He is almost 3 yrs old and a rottweiler/great dane cross.

My golden retriever is 6 years old and has recently been showing signs of increased appetite despite eating the same food for years, and no change in daily exercise. In fact, he used to never seem as interested in his food as most dogs I know so him scarfing his food down recently is an apparent change to his normal behavior. We feed him a little over a cup of food twice a day and he has been having regular bowl movements. I have noticed that he has began scavenge around the house and eat crumbs more than he used to ( he never really paid much attention to food on the floor unless it was in the kitchen while we were cooking). Although I am not sure if this is certainly related or not, I also noticed that he has a growth forming on his chest that I am currently monitoring as he has had a malignant tumor about 4 years ago, but on his leg only and it was surgically removed. Could an increased appetite be a sign for that growth to be more serious and do I need to have him checked out sooner rather later because of these two problems?
