Why Is My Dog Not Eating

Why Is My Dog Not Eating
Why is our dog not eating breakfast?

Every morning we give my dog dry biscuit chum food , sometimes he eats it straight away sometimes he doesnt for example,

Last week he ate all his food every day as soon as it was given to him, but THIS week he only ate it completely on some days and ate some at lunch and didn’t eat as soon as it was given to him. weve tried changing flavours and brands but this seems to be the case with every brand of dry food

why might this be?
if we feed him ONE can of dog food in the evening is that enough for one day?

Probably because he isn’t very hungry. You can probably get away with feeding him once a day – in the evening. As dogs get older some of them only need to be fed once a day. My dog use to eat twice a day, AM and PM, but then one day he just didn’t bother eating the AM meal (like three days in a row), so I quit feeding him then. He does fine on once a day. You might want to try this for a week or so and see how he eats the one meal.

Dogs With No Health Problems

Dogs With No Health Problems
I am fostering and planning on adopting 6 yr. old Chihuahua with a few health problems, trying to assess

After doing much reading I have found my new dog has many heath issues. He is a rescue dog and is on clavamox for his skin injuries. He has been coughing, which may be tracheal issues He had what looked like a seizure his first day here (vet said no, cause he didn’t fall over). Today he is not eating, not sure if it’s from the antibiotics. Also today he is squinting one of his eyes, won’t keep it open for very long and has been sleeping all day.
I love him already and would still like to adopt him, is it worth it? any advise? Good dog health plans? And any ideas on the eye problem. He has lived with me about 4 days and is 6 lbs.

First of all, go to a different vet.

Seizures can present in many forms. Gran mal seizures are the severe ones which can cause the animal to fall over, tense up, convulse, etc. However, petite mal seizures are mild and have many different forms. These can cause a dog to just go into a trance state or do something out of the ordinary, for example, chewing on nothing, or catching invisivle flies. If the dog has seizures at least once a month, you should consider treatment. If seizures are less that 4-5 times per year, the dog does not need to be on any treatment.

Clavamox is a great antibiotic and should take care of the skin issues soon.

Take him to the vet for the squinting eye. This could be a scratch or ulcer on the cornea or a simple infection.

If you love the dog and get along well with him, then I’d say it’s definitely worth it.


Sick Dog Info

Sick Dog Info
My dog is sick, anyone out there have info?

Hi there,
My dog has complete liquid diarrhea, but he eats and drinks a bit and has the same amount of energy as normal. He did get into some trash, with a lot of old food in it(knocked over the closed trash bin), but that might not be it. He didn’t eat anything or drink anything at all yesterday, unless I used a syringe and put water/pedialite down his throat. He began drinking a bit today, and I’ve been feeding him bland things today, rice and beef, yogurt, cottage cheese. He eats that fine, but stays away from his food. I feed him Blue Buffalo puppy chow, and normally his feces is fine, but the past couple days, its completely liquid…no solids at all. So if anyone has any answers for this, let me know. I’m not sure if it is an emergency type thing, because he hasn’t been completely lethargic.

You really need to take your dog to the vet. That’s the only way you can get a proper diagnosis and treat it properly. You’re doing great with helping your dog eat and drink. My only concern is that the cheese or yogurt (dairy products) can be making it worse. Some dogs just don’t digest human food as well, especially pure breds.

I know plain pasta is considered bland and easy on the digestive system for humans with diarrhea. That might work, but for now, I’d suggest staying away from dairy.

I would take your dog to a vet asap. Always better to be safe than sorry. I hope your puppy gets better very soon <3

PS...STOP FEEDING YOUR DOG 'DOG FOOD'...just in case the food is tainted! Tell your vet what you're feeding it and find out if it's being recalled. There has been another contamination alert in pet foods again.
