    Our lab will not eat.
    My 8 year old black lab daisy will not eat.. The vet checked for Addisons disease and lyme and other things all came back negative, We had switched her food about 6 months ago to wellness brand which helped her allergies, and ear infections. But she stopped liking the taste of the food.. Every flavor, (fish and sweet potatoes,deer and veggies, and duck and veggies). Dry and wet... Tried other dog food, cat food, people food, She even wouldn't even her favorite icecream frosty paws, the vet said I should go to a specialist, he is stumped.. any ideas...
    The vet gave her a predisone shot and gave me antibotes which I sqush into powder and stuck into peanutbutter and put is into the roof of her mouth...
    I need help, really daisy needs help! Asap... thanks.:confused:

    How long will she go without eating? How long has this been going on?

    Its been about 3 weeks, The vet tested her for addisons disease which was negative. She was eating like a handful of fruit loop cereal , or 3-4 pieces of steak. She would eat the mailmans milkbones but not any more.. Yesterday she ate canine carryouts strips chicken flavored, and a couple of begging strips she had a few teaspoons of yogurt. Today again begging strips and canine carryouts and half of yogurt.
    Tomorrow the results of some of the blood test from the vet will be in. If everything is negative we will have to see a specialist. She drinks with no problem.
