Loss of Appetite in Dogs

Hi. My dog was sick for two weeks now. But he is now recovering. 2 weeks before he got sick he has no appetite for food. And completely lost it. What am i gonna do? Im from philippines.

what should I do?

Thank you doctor . We have tried wet food , she only eats very little. Though she is not eating very well still is very active.

My Labrador Retriever isn't eating properly for 3 days and also behaving strange.
Recently Mating was done but she did not conceive and her delivery dates are over , also her food is changed as she wasn't looking in good shape. thereafter she is not eating properly and miss behaving. Should i see a vet ? Please advise...

I took my cavalier king Charles Toy Spaniel to the vet about 12 days ago. He wasn't eating & had diahrea w/a little bit of blood. The Doctor took blood samples, fecal samples, checked the liver & kidneys. Said he didn't know what was wrong. Just found some inflammation. Put him on a diet of Hill's Prescription ID with Turkey, 250 mg of Metronidazole (Flagyl); 10 tablets, & Forgo Flora. He was getting all better. Just a day after he finished the pills, he started losing interest in his food & just had had a bout with diahrea (a little bit of blood). He doesn't seem to exhibit any pain in his abdomen. He is just anxious. Could the foti flora (probiotic powder placed on his food) havereduced the effect of his medication? The doctor suggested earlier that he might have a possible tumor if he doesn't get well. However, I feel that maybe either more medication or something even stronger is a better way to go considering all the other tests he was given came out negative and he was on the road to recovery. What is your opinion?

My four month old golden retriever refuse to eat for two days. She only ate boiled chicken breast for two days. She looks sad and tired. No vomit and diarhea. I bought her 3 weeks ago and had anti rabbies vaccine last weeks. Im worried because i am not used to see her like this. She really like to eat before. Please help

My one year old golden seems to have lost interest in her food. She normally eats three times a day, but for the last week we've been leaving out only a cup for her breakfast and she won't eat it until late at night, if at all. She still seems to have the energy for our walks, she still wants treats and people food (which we won't give her), but she just doesn't want her food. We've checked her mouth with a flashlight and with our fingers, as well as feel around her abdomen to see if there are any painful areas, but nothing seems to bother her. Any ideas why this might be happening?

Hello Dr.,
I am extremely concerned about my Basset Hound, Rapido. For the past month or so I have been hearing his stomach gases churning very loudly. We could hear it from several feet away. However, he still ate normally. As of 3-4 days ago He has lost his appetite and is very lethargic. His stomach is still growling. He will drink water. I'm sure I'm not the only person who can not afford a vet visit, lab work, xray, and then the treatment course (if needed). I absolutely adore him. We just paid $700 for a benign cyst removal on him and we lost our Bloodhound 1 year ago to Lymphoma. Talk about expensive diagnoses and a hard decision not to treat his cancer. Exactly 4 weeks later he went blind and we decided to do the unthinkable. My issue with taking my Basset to the vet and pay some astronomical fees for a diagnosis, and not being able to pay for the treatment anyways. I hear people always say if you can't afford a pet you shouldn't have one. I don't like that attitude because we are excellent owners but I can no longer work due to an illness. Sometimes life deals a raw hand and all we can do is try and cope and be logical about expectations. What do you think the ailment could be and what can we do at home to try and make him as comfortable as possible? Any advise would be helpful.
Thank you

Hi my dog (Echo) has been off her food for 4 days. She normally has dried food (Royal Canin) which she has been eaten for the last 4 years. I have tried to change her food and she did eat a handful of biscuits but now she will not eat anything, not even a piece of cheese.

I have taken her to the vets where he said she had a slight temperature of 38.4 and a few crackles on her lungs. he prescribed amoxicillin and NSAID. She has normal toilet habits and drinking plenty of water. She runs around without showing any signs of pain or discomfort.

Hi my dog is a black lab, it has been 7 days and Charlie has quit eating, drinks lots of water, vomits about 3 to 4 times a day, its like a white muscus liquid, he lost wait over the last month or so, then about 4 days of not eating and drinking lots of water his belly swelled up over night, we took him to the vet, they did not check his temperature or d a stool sample or nothing, he felt his belly and said he's not good, he has a massive tumor and we would probably be putting him down this week, not sure but we need a second opinion on what to do we do not want to lose our dog.

Hi there!!
Over the past couple of days Angel, our dog has been acting quite strange when compared to her normal self. She's been eating only once a day (always used to eat twice a day) and has thrown up if she had eaten her breakfast in the morning (on the rare occasion as she always eats at night and never refuses a treat!). Her abnormal behaviour is that we always find her 'avoiding' us by sleeping or resting underneath desks and also an unoccupied room (which is super weird as she always sticks around us. We do give her lots of love and attention which she loves but it's quite weird seeing her like this!!
UNDERLYING PROBLEMS WE'VE SEEN
- The fire alarm was going off due to low battery which freaked Angel out with the frequency (this was the start of the whole problem) she recovered after a day but her weird self had stuck around
- Because of her poodle hair, a matted coat has come in the past week (is this maybe why she could be avoiding us?) as when I was patting her she got sensitive as I accidentally stroked through a knot

My dog Bailey slowly started not wanting to eat about 3 weeks ago and now hasn't eatten anything except treats for the last 4 days. She has also started throwing up bright green, no yellow. Drinking more water and has lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time. We have not taken her to the vet yet due to recently becoming a single income home. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

We noticed that our dog Logan has lost his appetite. Its been about week-10days, maybe a bit longer. Normally Logan inhales his food. We feed our dogs twice a day, Wellness Simple Natural Grain Free Dry Limited Ingredient Dog Food, Turkey & Potato. We think he just might not like the food anymore because he ends up eating it just takes him the whole day. I hand fed him tonight and he ate all his food. He also has no problem eating treats or human food. which is why we don't know if we should really be worried and take him to the vet, or just try a different flavor food.

My Doberman has lost his appetite recently. Since 4th of July he has been a bit different. He will eat food but not as much as he normally does. It takes putting in some chicken and sitting with him for about an hour to try to beg him to eat. He usually lays down next to the food. Doesn't seem interested. I changed his food three days ago and he is still not eating normally. He has also been acting very needy lately. He has normal bowel movement and drinks normal amounts of water.

my dog is constipated when she does go it's very little and sometimes has blood in the stool she does eat chicken and rice and hamburger I've been giving her pumpkin and I have given her laxative and enemas she shows some improvement but still constipated. She is a Shih Tzu 13 years old

Don't know how long I need to wait until I take him to the vet. He has been throwing up clear liquid and not eating and I am getting worried that he may have eaten something he was not supposed to.

My small dog was attacked by two German shepherds about a week ago which shes been to the vet for surgical treatment and put on antibiotics for her broken ribs. I been having to feed her with a syringe because she does not want to eat and I was wondering if due to the amount of pain she been in if that could be the cause for her loss of appetite.

My little female Chihuahua is approximately seven or eight months old she has not ate or drink anything in the last two days and all she's doing is sleeping. Does just started two days ago and I'm very worried about her she does not appear to have a fever or anything but she's not had anything to eat or drink and two days all she's doing is sleeping and her eyes are real classy. What can be possible reasons for this? Could it be that she sad depressed or are these symptoms of parvo?

Hi, my dog, Mulligan, has been displaying a loss of appetite for about a week and a half now. She generally wolfs down her food once I put it down, and has slowly become less interested in it. She is going back and forth eating a little bit at a time here and there, eating human food if I mix it in such as a bit of rice, or a kibble out of my hand. She has been pretty fond of her treats still. Her energy levels up until today seem normal. She is extremely high energy and still enjoying her walks, but I don't want to over exert her with her lack of food consumption. She is still drinking water and producing regular bowel movements. Today she is growing to be a bit lethargic and has thrown up once, a bit of liquid/almost bile looking substance. Since then she has made a few gagging reflexes but that is about it. I am not sure what the cause could be aside from it now being summer and some of the extreme heat that we have had in the recent weeks. Thanks!

My black Labrador Retriever has recently been acting very strange. she hasn't been eating any of her food for two days now and she always mopes around and is only excited when around are other dog Chevy. I'm very concerned for her health any ideas what could help?

dog not eating, drinking ok, vomited 2x, put on meds listed below, put on I V overnight, xray shows no obstruction, would sonogram show more? blood test shows pancreatitis. was alert, energetic, playful after vomiting but very subdued after staying in clinic/overnight

My Golden Pomeranian, Poppy, age 5 years 1 month, began limping yesterday (when standing, walking or sitting, would not let her left forepaw touch the ground). She began showing signs of fatigue (lying in shady areas) and sometimes it took effort to get her to accept a treat such as some peanut butter -- first I had to lick some before she would lick at it. Sometime this morning she seemed to disappear and, despite searching the house, the breezeway and the back yard, I can't locate her (she could not have physically left the property due to doors, fences etc.).

My dog is a 10 year old German shepard mix. I am training to be a vet and my current vet seems to know nothing. He is supposed to eat three cans of wet food and he can barely get down a half. This has been going on for 3-4 weeks? The vet has taken ultrasound and x-rays, and "saw nothing of concern" if it was a bladder or kidney issue it would have shown up on ultrasound and if it was an infection or phenomia it would have been on the x-ray so I just don't understand how you find nothing. he has no visable tumors and his gums are not abnormally pale. He doesn't seem to be in a great deal of pain but this is defineity not enough food for him and if he doesn't start to eat now he won't last long. We have tried/are trying treats, raw, wet, kibble and many other and i'm not sure what else to give him. He wll eat some of it and then walk away and not come back for more.

My yorkie hasn't eaten in 2 days . We usually feed him the Cesar classics and he woofs them down but he won't eat human food , dry food or wet . He also won't drink his water unless it's on your fingers . He's been dry heaving the past two days because he has nothing to throw up . He'll smell the food then walk away or lay there . He used to be very energetic and playful but all he does is lay around . He recently got backed up , wondering if that has to do with anything ?

Fred hasn't eaten his regular dog food today. His last meal was 24 hours ago. He does have an appetite for snacks and his daily greenies. He is adjusting to an earlier eating schedule since his primary owner has been away the last 3 weeks. Shall i make an appt to see a vet?

`My pup has a case of Pseudo pregnancy, and for the past 4 days she seems to lose interest over her food, she tends to become very choosy and sometimes she doesn't even want to get near her food. What can i do to help her regain her appetite? and is there any dog food available in the market that might actually stimulate her appetite?

My puppy got into the trash for the 1st time with my other dog 2 days ago. My older dog is very small and is fine. My puppy is 10-12 weeks old, and ate yesterday morning, but wasn't herself. She threw up her all her food she did eat and then has continued to throw up throughout the day. She laid around all day. She wanted to show interest in playing but just couldn't. Now today she has been awake but wont touch the food. She has drank a little water. but the a few minutes ago puked up like stomach acid. I just need to know what to do to help her feel better?

My dog isnt eating and is throwing up everyday. The vomit smells like fecal. He has lost about 20 pounds. Have taken him to the vet. All his blood work came back ok.

My dog has been acting "strange". Hes a mini schnauzer usually with a ton of energy. The last 2 days he has been very lethargic, some bursts of energy but overall not the same. He usually eats first thing in the morning and would eat all day if he could. Lately since about Friday isn't eating as much and now he is constipated, only defecating runny small amounts after minutes of straining. Some blood in stool but not a lot. He did eat soft food earlier and he is drinking and peeing with no problems.

My morkie is nearly 9 years old. I noticed blood in her urine and lethargic, I rushed her to the vet and started her on antibiotics, at the vet I learned her teeth were in horrible condition, she only drinks when I offer her water and turns her nose up at any kind of food. I've been feeding her puréed chicken & rice via syringe which she isn't crazy about but I get it in. Will be addressing the teeth issue asap but wondering if that is also the reason for her lethargy or would Lyme disease cause a loss of appetite.

I took my dog into the vet both for her regular exam and bc she has had decreased appetite lately. (Went two days with no food but would still eat treats and s little chicken.). Entire blood panel came back normal. She isnt eating again today and continues to be lethargic although she will still go out and walk with me twice a day. What types of medical issues could be causing her inappentance that would not show up in bloodwork?

Hi. My shih tzu dog won't eat. She's not eating for more than 24hours now. She's just 1 year old. She won't even try to eat. Fortunately she's drinking water with a little sugar. I tried to give her milk last night and she drank it. Then now, in the morning, I tried to give her milk again because she's still not eating but she also refused the milk. What do I need to do? I checked her gums, it's pale pink in color, not the usual color for her I think. She's so "tired" and pale. She won't even stand up when you call her. She will just look at you and won't move at all. Her poop is normal fortunately. And she's vomittig because of not eating. Her vomit is just water with some "yellowish acidic bubbles" because of her not eating. Please help me. Thank you.

My pointer won't eat. He has been eating less and less for weeks he has seen our vet who refused to nueter him at the time in case it was a virus. He is booked in to have his op on Sept 6th but he's eating less. He was 25.1kg in June he's now 23.5kg he drinks water as normal. We have tried wet foods dry foods human foods he eats very little of anything you offer I have had the vet check him over he can find nothing obvious as he is still very bouncy and full of it as usual .He is still passing bowel motions about 5 times a day as he always done they are not loose.

Hello sir,I'm from India.My puppy,browny is actually a very active pup,but suddenly from 2 days she is showing no interest in playing or eating food.We even tried white rice but she shows no interest in eating.She seems to be quiet sad and wants to go to one of the corner of the room or under the furniture and sleep.She is even throwing up since 2 days and also has hiccups.I'm bit confused about this problem.I actually don't know whether this problem is more of a physical sort of thing or emotional one. I also have a doubt that it is depressed because she lost a companion,tommy,it's sibling which died 5 days ago in an accident.Please help us.

My puppy was gagging earlier in the day but no vomit and you could hear a gurgling noise from her stomach. She has been lethargic all day. She won't eat but she has some energy to run around outside. I haven't notice her pee or poop today.

Hi, I started to notice my furbaby's loss of appetite 2 days ago. He seems to have the instinct of wanting to eat but then when the food gets in his mouth, he doesn't seem to want to finish it. Its like, he is trying to eat but is having second thoughts. His responsiveness and energy didn't dwindle, he is still playful and often demands attention. I tried to serve him recovery food, it smells so good, but still, he takes a nip of it then won't finish it off. I tried giving him table food, no onions and whatsoever, just the meat, again, the nip and won't finish it off. However, when I gave him Dentastix, he finished it off. I took him to the vet, they did CBC, everything is normal except for his WBC which is below the normal count, like if the normal is 5-13, he is at 3. Recently, there is just a change in his normal routine, we got a dog walker to walk him and we got a new housemate who will be staying with us for 3 months. Unlike before, when I go to work, he seems to handle himself well alone. I don't know if that can be a factor. Moreover, I also observed that he wants to stud. He always umps on my leg everytime I'm watching TV. Worse, he jumps beside me, takes my hand and wants me to J--k him off. I live in a condo and there are so many dogs in the area. With all these things in my head I don't know what to do. I just fear this is leading to some serious health issues.
BTW, I am sending this message from the Philippines, desperate to find answers.

My 5 year old Lab has had a very low appetite and has been vomiting every morning for the pass week. She has been drinking fine but did throw up the water in the morning twice this week, however, otherwise her normal active self. She will eat at night just not the with the same "speed" or the same amount. She usually eats fast (almost not even chewing) but now slowly chews each piece. She was mated 26 days ago via AI and was treated for kennel cough two to three weeks ago. Is there something I should be doing to help her eat?

Our 10 year old Basset Hound Howie has recently been drinking a lot of water, has lost his appetite and has been vomiting and start peeing in the house. He went the the eye doctor on Friday and has some issues with his eyes which Doctor said is normal for his breed. We have eye drops and cream which we place in his eyes twice a day. This morning his is on top of the other issues seems to be breathing heavy. Any thoughts on what is going on? He does go to the Vet tomorrow but what thought I would ask. Thank you kindly we love him so. Mary

My 5 mth old puppy was sick for one day and night then she went off her food for one day now she does eat but less than normal but i noticed she is not drinking

My 10 year old maltese poodle was constipated and didn't poop for about 6 days, was throwing up, barely eating anything and extremely lethargic. I took her to the vet yesterday, and she had an enema under anesthesia along with an endoscopy and an x-ray, both of which came up clear. I brought her home last night and she still isn't 100% back to her usual self. I've tried to give her food today but she pushes the bowl around and refuses to eat, but is drinking plenty of water. She hasn't pooped since she came home, and is taking her prescribed anti-nausea medication. When can I expect her to regain her appetite and have normal bowel movements again?

Hi...I Have a 6ix month old Boerboel and recently it hasn't been eating,although it tried to eat and whenever it does, it throws up and the urine is very yellowish , it's trying it's best to be as active as it can but it doesn't have strength

I have a dog is that a mix Chiweenie about 7 or 8 years of age and he has lost his appetite, refuses to come out of his crate, shakes, behaves as if he is frightened, refuses to go until taken outside with the other dogs. He is behaving as if he has been traumatized. What could this possibly be? He and his brother have never been house broken for a variety of reasons and were crated beginning last November. It was a constant mess to clean up while visiting a friend. They have no manners.

My dog has lost a lot of weight in the last few months. We took him to the vet and they did blood work and said everything looked fine. He was eating fine but the last few weeks we noticed a decrease in eating and drinking and was vomiting the little food he was eating and was still losing weight. We took him back to the vet and they did more intense blood work and said his white blood cells were a little low and also did a X-ray and said everything looked good beside they seen something blurry behind his stomach but can’t tell what it is they we could have a ultrasound but before we do that they put him on a antibiotic and a pill to make him have an appetite. He ate good the first day but after that he hasn’t ate much and is still throwing up and it’s been 7 days on the medicine and now we noticed his poop is black and tar looking and we don’t know what do to, and we don’t want him to suffer or have any pain. Harley is a 13 year old lab

My pup is 4 months old golden retriever . He had a fever about 4 days ago and he completely stopped eating.his teeth began to fall out 2 days ago.the vet told me he has anemia and there is something wrong with his liver. He doesn't drink fluids other than water with some electrolytes added. His faeces are blackish and sticky.I'm really worried because he won't even try to drink some broth. Will he be okay?

My dog hasn't eaten for 2 days but he did drink a little water with added electrolytes in it. He also vomits a white phlegmy substance from time to time. He looks very weak and just lies down a lot. We tried warming his food to stimulate his appetite, we also tried hand/spoon feeding him but no luck so far. Do you think he has Anorexia? Should we take him to a vet immediately ?

Hi, I have a West Highland Terrier who is normally in good health but occasionally he gets an upset tummy (off food, eating grass etc). I know that Westies are susceptible to tummy problems but he has now been on and off food for around a week. Sometimes he will eat, sometimes not. He did have diarrhea a few days ago but that seems to have cleared although his faeces is a little soft and yellowish in colour. I haven't changed his food and he only seems to want to eat once a day. Earlier in the week his stomach was making gurgling noises (this is usual for him when he is off his food) but that has stopped now. He is wormed every 3 months and I use advocate on him monthly. I don't want to take him to the vets if it's just his usual sensitive tummy but this bout has lasted longer than usual. What do you suggest? Thank you

Hi Doc, good day, Im from Phils., i have a dog, Bubbly, crossbreed shitsu and maltis, 7 years old. I always notice that he always has problem in his stomach everytime he has no bath for 4 days. He vomits and then his stool has blood. However, everytime, i bring him to the vet and do lab tests, they cant see any problem. one vet recommended metronidazole 125/5ml, the other vet recommended doxycycline 100 mg tablet, but it heals my dog. Today, i gave her metronidazole, and no more vomitting and diarrhea, however, she did not want to eat, but i only giving her water with mondex. Is it still ok if she still doesnt want to eat. She skipped 2 meals. And also for your info, i started to give her dog food instead of her usual meal, rice and viand because i think she already have very poor digestion. Kindly advice. Thank you

Mona, my terrier mix, has always had a great appetite and is not a picky eater. Just yesterday she began to throw up clear yellow liquid and has not eaten anything in 24 hours, and does not want to drink water either. I'm really getting worried because she doesn't even want to go outside at all and that's not her at all

Hi my 12 year old miniature poodle has CHF and he takes Vetmedin, Fortekor and Furosemide since he coughs. 3 days ago he just was very lethargic and didn't eat for a whole day. Also he suddenly seemed to stop coughing. So I took him to my vet and he said he has a throat infection and fever. So he gave me antibiotics & paracetamol (obviously for dogs). He's still taking Vetmedin, Fortekor and Furosemide since he starting coughing again yesterday. But he still hasn't eaten a thing! He drinks water every now and then, when I urge him to but other than that, he just lies down. Not interested in anything else.

Thanks for your quick reply Dr. Turner. I haven't stopped the VetMedin, Fortekor or Lasix. The vet prescribed Rilexine antibiotics and Tolfedine. He has been taking these medicines for 3 days now, however he hasn't eaten anything or made any improvement. Tried various kinds of food (wet also) and heated milk, etc, but to no avail. I'm worried since he's only taking lots of medicine/pills and little water.

recently my dog has been experiencing major shedding hair loss and loss of appetite is it because of the change of environment moving to a new house if you want to go plus the fact that I'm gone quite a bit but I do come back and pop in during

these past few weeks my dog seems to have lost interest in things like playing and especially eating and when we gave her a food she's likely to smell it or sometimes she eats but only small amount and she keep sleeping everyday , and when we call her sometimes she ignore us and vice versa and sometimes when we inject her the vitamin after that she get swollen eyes and sometimes i can hear her heavy breathing based on my observation

About six weeks ago my 11 yr old lab mix quit eating...everything! Drinks normally. Vet did lots of blood tests, xrays and an ultrasound. All were fine except a little elevation in liver enzymes but still in normal range. No fever. Been forcefeeding her emergency care soft food. She has been continually going downhill and now is wheezy, trembling and just a little responsive. The vet is at a loss. I think she is dying now. What happened???

My dog is look like she's dying and I don't know how to help her.
First she became less active which I thought due to weather change (winter time), than she started losing weight and moving only on 'special occasions' (go out), I noticed that she had trouble moving, but always limped on different ​​p​aws. Now she lost half of her weight, she is not moving unless forced and last two days she prefers to pee in corridor,​ so she doesn't have to go pee outside. She lost her appetite completely and I had to stuff small pieces of boiled chicken in her mouth so she eats and pour soup through syringe. She has no power to move nor desire, I have never seen my usually crazy dog so unhappy.

The symptoms started about two months ago. I have visited three different veterinarians​. The first one did nothing, when we visited after some time another clinic they said that dog has a fever, gave her some antibiotics and prescribed some steroids. After some period, when dogs health went much worse I visited another doctor that prescribed her pills that make her want to it and said the dog dehydrated, we also did a blood test. The blood test returned completely normal, all indicators showed that dog is in a good health, however today (2 weeks after last visit) she is refusing to eat and drink and can't even walk.

It also looks like she has trouble breathing (when I mentioned soar barking and breathing issues doctors did not say something bad is happening).

She could have been poisioned because she likes to go through other peoples garbage cans im not sure how this happened. i can not afford to take her to the vet. i am on ssi and welfare. my children are worried out there little minds about her. we love her to death. please help me get my dog back to her self again thankyou.

my boyfriend has gone away, he's been gone for about 6 months. He won't be home for another month or so. he got the pitbull about 3+ yrs ago, they are best friends(always were together) he's had him since a baby and bottle fed him, slept in the bed with us EVERY night, whatever we ate he wanted some too. until he went away, now the dog is currently staying in the same house but now his parents are taking care of him,he's become skinny and his hair is shedding, they have noticed a complete loss of appetite, and when he does eat that morning, they come home from work and he's vomited. so they tried the chicken and rice diet but it doesn't seem to be working, he's just not interested.He definitely suffered from separation anxiety in the past,my boyfriend would be in the driveway & he would be barking at the door. Or if he left the house he would be glued to my side until my boyfriend got home. so i'm not surprised to hear about this, i just don't know what to do. i love him like he was my own. now i currently take care of my boyfriends grandfather, so i'm at the same house during the day but the only problem is im downstairs & they lock the door to the upstairs so i can't see him & don't get to spend much time with him either. the second i pull in the driveway he's barking at the door/window & i feel like he's sometimes mad at me, because before i would be able to go right up & say hi, but things have changed. i hate seeing him like this, & don't know what to do.. some advice would be great.

Dixie was diagnosed with Cushings Disease last year. We discontinued use of the medication prescribed because of the side effects, the most disturbing being frequent trembling (tremors). We started her on a natural diet high in protein and vegetables we had seen recommended for Cushings (chicken, eggs, spinach, pumpkin, carrots, etc) About a month ago, she began to be less and less interested in any sort of food,even treats. She went from being a voracious eater to refusing to eat. Currently, she may eat a bite or two with some coaxing. Although she is not constantly at the water bowl, when she does drink we have to stop her or she just vomits it back up. Consequently she has lost quite a bit of weight and muscle mass. She does not lose her urine or bowels, thankfully, and despite her weakness, is very alert.
My vet has not been helpful :( He feels that it is just old age.

MY DOG IS NOT EATING FOOD FROM 1 MONTH. CAN I DEWORM HIM IN THIS CONDITION? HIS TLC COUNT IS 14000 AND BLOOD UREA IS 49.1MG%(IS IT IS HIGH?)?PLZ HELP...............

My dog has always been very eager to eat and when I would feed her she always ate the whole bowl right away. Recently when I feed her all she does is drink the whole bowl of water and take a few bites of her food. If leave the food out, eventually she will finish the bowl but she does not seem as interested. Her activity level is normal and she still gets exited for treats and eats those. She has been eating the same brand of food for a while now. I went out and bought a new bag thinking there was something wrong with the bag but she is still doing the same thing. The one thing otherwise that has changed is she has been sleeping a little later in the morning. I feed her 1/3 of a cup twice a day. Is this something I should be really concerned with. I know dachshunds are known for always being hungry so that is why I'm concerned.

Why is my dog has lost her appetite .. she eat only fried fish .. She has no sign of vomiting or diahrrea. She lost her appetite after i let her eat dog food not table food ..

I wish I would have found you sight before yesterday, because we had our almost 15 yr old chichauhau put to sleep yesterday. Please don't stop reading here. I think I might have done the wrong thing. He couldn't hear anymore and was getting cataracts, seems to walk stiff some times and slept a lot. Some days he could go up and down the stairs sometimes not I would carry him up and down. He weighed about 3.4 pounds. The last few months he was always having accidents in the house, which he didn't do, and other people told me that was normal when dogs are getting old near the end of life. Oh he also had bad teeth but I would put water on his hard food to soften it and he ate soft food. I watched his diet carefully because he always had a sensitive stomach. Well one day he had an accident (bowl movement) then later that day in the same place another one, but this one was mucus and bloody and it looks like he had swollowed a a whole piece of his biscuit without chewing it (it was a tiny biscuit cut into 4 pieces). Then through out the day he threw up a few time but only like water. Then he won't eat. Which was common for one day if his stomach bothered him. But then he wouldn't eat or drink the next day and it was the weekend and the vet was closed. We tried all kinds of food. Ans tried to give him water and eventually a little bit of gateraid with a lot of water to dilute it. I had to unclamp his mouth and put it in with an eye dropper. I took him to the vet the next day and she said she would talk to me about euthanasia or do what they can. She said his body temperature was low and they did blood work and his white blood count was high, that he had an infection. We left him and they gave him fluids and 2 antibiotics. We took him home for the night because she said he might not make it through the night, and I had called to ask, and no one would be there with him at night and we didn't want him to be alone and my daughter was going to drive home an hour and a half to see him one maybe last time. She was is another town doing her student teaching for college. The doctor told us he had tested positive for leptospirosis. She had tested him because she had looked through his cart and he hadn't had the shot last year 2017. I'm not sure if he had it in 2016. And she didn't know if the anibodies could be in his blood from that long ago, she didn't think so. He did have a reaction to it when he first started getting it, and they had to give him steroids with it. And they thought last year it might have been to much stress on his body. I think I might have ended his life to soon, that our family made a mistake, that maybe the vet could have saved him. Do you think he would have gotten better, with medicine etc? They did call after we had him put to sleep to ask if it was ok to take a small piece of his liver and kidney to have it tested for the lepto, and they will let us know. I just miss him so much. And am afraid I didn't do what I should have. Please tell me the whole truth of what you think.

my dog is not eating food from 1 month. so can i deworm him in this condition?? all other symptoms are matched. his TLC count is 14000 and blood urea is 49.1mg%. but i have given anti biotics to control TLC COUNT.

Hi,
My dog has had loss of appetite for 5 days, she has been hungry all the time since adoption (6 years). She is 6 and a half years old and a white golden retriever. She weighs 70IBS(32 kg) but she lost 5(2 kg) IBS since, she has red eyeball situation and her eyes are wet like she is crying:( rejects her food unless it is meat or bone, yesterday her poop was with blood but at noon we also saw bone piece in the feces so we thought the blood was because of a minor cut in the intestines etc.(we made her eat olive oil in order to get rid of the bone so she did) she is depressed, she drinks water a lot and pees a lot and frequently she doesnt even frisk her tail, the vet thought she had an infection so she had injections 3 times so far and for the first day Vitamin B reinforcement injection to make her want food.. But her blood rates are still high and getting higher, we demanded urine test too,but there is nothing in it, nothing in the ultrasound either today she had one more blood test which shows WBC 27,4x10^9/L GRAN#24,1 LENF%9,2 HCT 31,6% MCV 45,9fL MCHC 54,1g/dL CRP 7,0mg/dl. She had x-ray either and her spine had an anomaly Dr. said it might be a tumor or bony tissue expanding-breeding-calcification etc. She doesnt have feverat all. he says he is trying to eliminate the problems it may even be cancer but they are not sure for anything...It is hard to trust Vets in here because they see pets as moneymakers or experiments (from Turkey btw) could you please help us? She is too young to die and i dont trust any vets here. I can give more information and results as well.

Hello, my young pup Tala has stopped eating 3 days ago. Drinks water at times and vomits white froth at times. Usually quite active but now only wants to sit and sleep. I let her outside in sunshine at times but she soon comes in as hot outside. I live in Philippine provinces and no vet anywhere near here. I need some type of home remedy to try. I give Tala different foods that she usually likes - but she now just sniffs and moves away. Is there something i can put in her drinking water to settle the stomach? Any help appreciated - Dane

My dog has not eaten in several days. She seems very sad and just stays laying down. She wags her tail but isnt acting like her self. One of my other dogs was sick before her with similar symptoms and is now doing fine. I beleive she may have caught the same thing. I currently have her on Penisilin and Pedialyte, she seems very weak now.

My dog Rica has stopped eating a few days ago and refuses to eat. She drinks only water and I use a syringe to push soup down her throat slowly. Whenever she walks, her butt sways and she walks slowly. When she urinates she only pees a small puddle. My vet has told me to give her liquid appetite stimulants -- Appetason -- to her every day (1ml once a day, every day). But I'm still concerned. She just hides under the couch or just lays down.

My puppy Tomy, 5 month old.
Before 2 week ago, I give him some chicken pieces in that meal. after 1 week later my puppy does not eat anything, only drinking water.
my vet Dr. check my puppy and give some injection.
But now my puppy do not eat anything we give him. he also not go for poo last few days.
he is very week now, some time he gives some painful sounds and walk slowly.
he also not bark, very rare time he bark only 3-6 min.
he just sleep on the cold area.

Hi my dog for the last 10 days has been very picky with what he eats and mainly only takes food from my hands. i found he would eat only meat i.e. pork, chicken, jamon, and ham. Yesterday was the worst day, he only eat a little chicken and pork all day. and so far today he has only eaten a little jamon. He has also slowed down alot on his walks, though i was thinking that is because he isnt eating much and therefore not much energy. Though this morning he stopped on his walk and just looked so unhappy/ill. He has also been sleeping alot more this last month and prefers to sleep in the other room, which is unusual for him too. He also, in the early mornings usually, throws up yellow bile, maybe every 10 days or so, though 3days ago and this morning he tried but it was very thick bile and i had to pull it out with a tissue as it seemed to be getting lodged in his throat. Thankyou in advance

About 3 days ago, my 11 yr old golden retriever threw up. We had tried a “new food” which was only healthily fruits and veggies (kale, broccoli, blueberries, sweet potatoes and ground turkey) He has been eating this for about 2 months with no problem. Suddenly he wouldn’t eat it and then threw up. I withheld food for 8 hours and then re-introduced water. He was OK with that so I fed him boiled chicken w/ rice and he ate that fine the first meal. At 2nd feeding he wouldn’t eat it. We went to Petco and got the grain-free log of wet food (what he ate prior to this new diet) and he again ate the 1st meal then not the second. He is eating very little (a few bites then stops). But drinking normal and he is laying but that is not unusual for him. His breath smells, again that is not unusual. We brush his teeth and it gets better. But him not feeling well, I don’t want to push it. I don’t know what is wrong with him? I’m going to call the Vet tomorrow? But I don’t know if I should NOW?

My dog hasn't eaten in four days and just yesterday was his first time in four days drinking water. He is not active and playful with the kids like he use to be. He just lays in one spot and shows no interest in anything. He is around 8 months. Any help or suggestions on what I should do?

8 month old puppy has lost appetite. Usually a very eager eater, but hasn't been interested in her food for a few weeks... I feed her one cup, three times a day, on a pretty regular schedule. I have been mostly successful at getting her to eat, but she is becoming more stubborn about it. yesterday she vomited after eating. it looks to be just solid half digested food. she did have a normal looking bowl movement yesterday evening and this morning a little one... though she looked to be straining a bit. she's drinking water, eating treats and seems to be full of energy. She's up to date on all her shots and she gets her monthly worm medicine. She doesn't seem to have any pain when I press on her stomach... I assumed it was psychological, prior to the vomiting, since I have been especially busy and away from home since the symptoms really started. Her gums are still pink and I don't see any dental problems.

I have 2 doggies and something isn't right with the both of them. Girl dog (yorkie) will not eat. We gave her a lil pedialyte last night and she threw it up instantly. Abt an hr or so later we gave her 2 helpings of milk via a syringe and she took to that and kept it down. This morning we gave her another syringe of milk and she kept it down, and abt 15 mins later she drank her pedilyte from her bowl herself but could barely stand on her hind legs. Now the boy (yorkie/maltese mix) was having the same symptoms but not as bad. He was walking around and eating, but not as chipper as he normally is (both are happy hyper and excited dogs). This morning he ate (boiled plain chicken), used the bathroom, but is now a bit sluggish in his hind legs, and becoming lethargic like my girl. We cannot afford the vet at this time. Could it be that they got into something and it has to work its way out of their system? Any home remedies I can try outside of the pedialyte. HELP!!

Hi, my dog is so sick, he has not eaten for almost 7 days now, i was away from home since i work outside my hometown so my parents tried feeding him in all the ways possible by luring him with treats which he liked the most but he would refuse and would drink only water almost 4-5 days n now that ive reached on the 7th day, he wont have water either and he doesnt close his eyes while lying down either, he is so weak n he would hear me call him n he even responded once by waiging his tail and then later he stoped but he would continue winking his eyes continuosly,i felt like he could understood but he was just weak, we tried to feed him electrolyte but he reacted to his by showing body contractions for almost about a minute and his mouth was also opening n closing like some nervous breakdown n it happened like almost 4 times n he kept vomiting from day 3 n it became worse, some smelly fluids r coming out of his mouth. I cant bear him seing him suffer this way. I dont know how to console about whats happening to him.

My 5 year old female unaltered dane all of a sudden stopped eating her regular kibble. I immediately went into action with bland chicken and rice. She ate it twice then snubbed it the next day. I made a dog friendly meatloaf. Same thing. She ate it once, I had to hand feed her, then ignored it the second feeding. She just came off a rather heavy heat cycle (She is not unaltered by choice. Per her original vet, she's possibly allergic to anesthesia along with olive oil and St. Augustine grass), To make matters worse, she has 2 fistulas that have also been very bad for the past 2 months. Nothing the vet has done works. She was licking at them a little more than usual but would stop when we catch her doing it. By day 3, she was turning down everything except dog friendly peanut butter made into a sandwich and Milk Bones/Marrows. Then she started turning that down. Day 3 was also day 1 of a fever. I nipped that in the bud with colloidal silver (10 ppm). She had a fever on and off but now it's finally gone. I finally made some homemade, dog friendly chicken broth and she turned it down yesterday but today she had about 1/8th cup 2x by dropper. I don't know why she won't drink from the soup dish. She's drinking a lot of water but only before or after she goes outside. It got to the point where I would tell her stop and she would. I don't want her getting water poisoning. She won't get up just to drink but that is not unusual for her. Here's the kicker, she hasn't lost any weight at all. She's not bloated. Our lifestyle and schedules have not changed. We have not changed her food. Do you think because she was licking at her fistulas that she transferred that bad bacteria into her tummy/intestines? I know the colloidal silver is working on her but I'm stumped that she hasn't lost any weight. If it was my other 2 danes, they would be skin and bones after 4 days.

Hi my dog did not eat for two days then he ate and know he is not eating but only drinking water and he is just lying around doesnt even what to do anything he just lays on the bed

My mini poodle has not had an appetite for the last three days. I got her to eat a piece of jerky yesterday and a mini pat of butter. She is still drinking water and has moments of energy. But mostly she has been laying around. I thought the heat had something to do with it but even when it cools down she is being sad and not eating.

Hello. My 9 mo. old puppy has been acting strange for a week or so. He started throwing up yellow or clear liquids about 2wks ago. Then last week, we brought a new puppy home and he was upset about that. He started acting weird as if he were depressed or angry. Today though, I noticed that he hasn't been eating and whenever I took him out for a walk, he had a bowel movement that looked almost like melted chocolate. From what I could see, there wasn't any blood. He's been drinking plenty of water, but he just refuses to eat. He's not acting like his happy normal self. This is the first time that his bowel movements have looked like that because earlier today they looked normal. What should I do? It's breaking my heart to see him like this..We've even tried spending alone time with him, but he just doesn't seem interested. He hasn't eaten anything out of the ordinary because we keep him on strictly dog food. We usually have to put him in his crate whenever we're at work and he is in there for about 8hrs. Could that be a factor in it as well?

So I have 5 puppies and they are 1 month old. 2 of them got sick and we don't know how. They both refuse to eat and lost alot of weight. One spends most of her time just sleeping and she looks so sad all the time. She just gets up and walks around, uses the restroom and lays back down. She did throw up white creamy stuff but she does use the restroom. Any advice?
