My dog won't eat after being ill and losing his mate
My mum one Sunday took the dogs for a walk, it was a hot day and they both ended up getting very sick, one died on our kitchen floor, the other was taken to the vet where we were told it was heat exhaustion. He was put on a drip and the like, since then he was been a different dog. He won't eat and is very sad. He is old for his breed but always eat fine before hand. He sniffs at the food but is not interested in it, My parebts have been putting food involuntary in his mouth for the last two weeks, but he has lost so much weight, and he was never a particularly big dog in the first place. He is a chow chow by breed and is about 11 years old. Im looking after him whilst my parents are way, and he won't let me put food in his mouth, I'm so worried and I just want him to start eating again, I know he must be really depressed, as he seems so sad. Please help someone, I'm fearful he will die, I have him for 2 weeks and I just want to get him eating again, he can't afford to loose any more weight. He is a very healthy and strong dog that's how he survived the heat exhaustion. Thanks
