Hello everyone,

My nephew has a very well taken care of Shiloh Shepard that refuse to eat. He just started this in the last few days. He has never been given table food only pet food. We are very worried about this situation. Please Help

How old is the dog? Has he got other symptoms? Is he lethargic? Are his poop and pee normal? Has his food or surroundings recently been changed?

A little more info please.

Sstarbuck8,

Thank you for responding. Sam is about 27 months. His poop and pee are pretty much normal. He has no trouble going at all. He is a little slow but that is all. No changes in the household at all. He just won't eat...

Hmmm... has he eaten yet, or is he still refusing to eat? Have you tried to feed him something bland to see if he will take it. You could try a boiled chicken breast, to which you could also add some rice if you'd like. He might just have an upset tummy. Is he drinking water normally? If he still doesn't eat anything within the next day or two at the most, a visit to the vet is necessary.
