My Dog Isn’t Eating

If your dog skips a meal, don’t panic. Keep an eye on him and see if he shows any signs of an illness. For instance, is he lethargic? Does he want to go out for walks? Is his stool and urine normal? Is he shaking, hunching over like he’s in pain, have a hunched back which also signals pain, vomiting, drooling, etc.? If he has any of those symptoms call your vet to schedule an exam right away. If your dog doesn’t appear to be acting any different than usual then wait him out and see if he will eat his next meal. Sometimes dogs will eat a lot one day and skip a meal the next day. If your dog gets a lot of treats in between meals then he may not be hungry. Offer your dog his meal at a later time and see if that makes a difference. Consult with your Marion, IA veterinary clinic as well.
