    Dog won't eat
    We have a 15 year old cocker spaniel. Lately she has not been eating regularly and has been very lethargic, moving slowly. We have been able to mix in some canned dog food with her regular dry, and she eats a little, but this is a big change for her not to eat.

    Was wondering if this is just the effects of old age, since she is a senior citizen now. She does have hearing loss.

    Interested in hearing your response.

    Could be old age, could be something treatable. Worth a vet visit to find out. 15 is old for a Cocker Spanial, but she could have a few more good years. I have a Lab that is almost 14, and I am hoping for a few more years.
