Blood work will often times direct us if its metabolic or mental, I mean behavioral. This is a tough one to answer with out some tests and palpation of the abd. Some cases I have had to get an x-ray, for visual signs of inflamed bowels, unusual gas patterns, inlarged liver. Stomach distention. Loads of questions for me to ask to answer your one seemingly simple question, sorry. Best bet is have her looked at by her vet.
Good Luck. |

Young Shepherds are notorious for being poor eaters, but if you check my sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post254171 you will see that I say see the vet for sudden changes appetite. By tomorrow, you will have given the problem long enough to go away on its own. DocWill has already given you some idea of what needs to be done. Many things can cause a dog to quit eating like that. Some are fairly easy to cure.
