I don't like that yellow bile. Cut out the table scraps, too easy to become a bad habit. Keep offering him a dry dog chow. That is what dogs do best on. If he doesn't start eating in a day or 2, and continues the bile, have a vet check him. In the mean time, shower him with affection and attention.

Thank you for adopting him. Shelties are great little dogs. Please post back in a couple of days. Others and I here care.

Great, thanks for the advice, we'll keep up what we're doing then, and ill let you know how he goes. He's a really good little dog, so I hope he starts eating soon! He was just given a vet check on Sunday just before we took him home, and they said he was perfectly fine, so hopefully there's nothing wrong.
Thanks a lot

She will only eat when I am with her or feed it her out of my hand even then she sometimes turns her nose up at it.

Can anyone help!!

[labman]

Follow my advise on taking the food away after 15 minutes that I posted in your new thread and earlier in this thread.

[Chasey]

Hello,

If anyone can help me, I would appreaciated... My boxer/lab mix is not eating. She's been having a lot of gas lately, so I think it has to do something with that. I gave her some new treats, about a week and half ago, but I stop giving it to her and she still is having a lot of gas. She would eat like one cup a day of dry food(science diet-Large puppy), and not eat breakfast or dinner. Today she eat about half her dinner, and then turned away. I tried adding a little water to her food, but it isn't working. She use to eat very good, I would give the recommeded amount of food. So does anybody know what could be the situation.

[labman]

There are only a handful of reasons a dog doesn't eat. Most often it is over feeding. This sounds more like she is sick. Call the vet in the morning. My Aster lacked energy since last evening, and didn't eat this morning. Took her to the vet and came back with antibiotics to clear up her pneumonia. Maybe I shouldn't have let her swim in the river yesterday.

Chances are you are expecting it to eat more than it needs. First, compare it to this chart.

September 07, link to chart replaced with LongLiveYourDog.com - Life Span Study - Rate Your Dog

If it is too thin by the chart, and not eating what you offer it, I would seek out a different vet.

It is an aberration for a healthy dog, not under a major stress, not to eat what it needs. If you have had her about a week, and she isn't eating anything more than nibbles, you may need to take some special steps. Are you offering her what she ate before?

The usual cause of dogs not eating is over feeding. Some dogs refuse to eat more than they need. I once had a young German Shepherd go 3 days on a few nibbles. She was fine, but I was a wreck. First thing is to compare her to the chart in this link, September 07, link to chart replaced with LongLiveYourDog.com - Life Span Study - Rate Your Dog
If she is under weight by the chart, have a vet check. If he can't find anything wrong, and agrees she is too thin, get back with me. I do have a few ideas.

Otherwise you need to feed her less. At meal time, put down the amount the chow package says. Take up what isn't eaten in 15 minutes. Do not offer any food until the next meal time. Don't fall into the trap of tempting her with table food. That is the road to an unhealthy, picky, overweight dog. After about a week, she should be eating what she needs. Cut back to putting down what she will eat. Keep an eye on her, adjusting the amount following the chart above.

My black lab has the same problem as your shepard Mr Bennington and I am just as worried as you are. My dog has been vomiting white foam and has also been given a clean bill of health by his vet.

[labman]

As you can see, in most cases I am advising the dog is over fed, but I didn't even mention it in the other thread. Unless you post back with other information, it sounds like a physical problem. Your dog may desperately need another vet.

After 4 days without eating, it is time to call the vet. Few healthy dogs go 4 days without eating. It is good practice to immunize your dog against kennel cough and other common diseases. Can you remember a visit where the vet gave Daisy nose drops? If so, she shouldn't have kennel cough. Could be something else, or it is possible it is due to resentment of the new puppy. Get her to the vet tomorrow. If he doesn't find anything wrong, post back.

In the mean time, make sure she is getting plenty of attention. If she doesn't feel well, a walk may not be a good idea. I am sure she is up to a butt or belly rub. Puppies are very time consuming, but the older dog needs more attention than ever.

Hello everyone, I have a 1 year old male german shepherd. He has not eaten in 3 nights. I have mixed cook eggs (which he loves) in his food, but ate very very little. Also today, day 3, I added some can food (meat flavor) and he only took a few bites of it. Maybe this has something to do with it, but for the past 4-5days, he has been limping. He hurt his back left paw or leg, and his right front paw or leg. They are NOT broken. But IM guessing he ran into one of his several holes ( which I filled in ) in his area and hurt them. Any Ideas or suggestions to get him to eat? Thanks!!

[labman]

Unlike Labs, young Shepherds often fail to eat as much as their owners think, and in some cases even enough to keep their ribs hidden. A quote from the manual given to me by people that really know Shepherds. ''Note, German Shepherd puppies typically will look very thin throughout puppy hood.''

The leg problem may only be a coincidence. Still, if this started about the same time, has gone on for a few days, and neither has gone away, it may be time to call the vet. Without the leg thing, likely I would say just cut back on what you are feeding him.

The one Shepherd I had was a bad digger, worse than the Labs.

As several of us said in your other thread, he needs to go to a vet. Quite often if it is a bacterial infection, some antibotics clear it right up.

[dachshund93]

:eek: My little dachshund won't eat his dry dog food and I don't know what to do about it.
If any one can help it would be great
Thanks heaps
:eek:

[labman]

We must have more information before giving a good answer. In most cases, the dog is over fed or sick. If the dog has gone a day or 2 without eating, most likely he has a physical problem and needs to go to the vet. Tempting a dog with rich food is nearly always wrong. If he is sick, it won't help. If he is over fed, it will make it worse.

If it has been a few days, he should go to the vet when the office opens. Otherwise, post back with details.

[4mydogs]

Well I got the news from my vet and its not good. IT seems Daisy's liver and kidneys are shut down. Apparently my dog has been poison very severely. The vet even said that he never saw symptoms so aggressive. We have her on antibiotic and also iv's the vet doesn't give much hope. I will know more Friday.
Any guess on what kind of poison?
