Could you help me find out what is wrong with my dog, she's 17 and I know she is old but I feel like she is starving because she is not eatting, she has lost all her teeth about 3 years ago and her we tongue now hangs out the side, even with no teeth she had a really good appitite but now she won't eat anything and I don't know weather its because she can't eat or won't eat, she is drinking water but not enough, she has got extremely thin and I don't know what to do to help her,

Help please, thank you

Wow, 17 certainly is old age for a dog. Has she been to a vet recently? I know it's horrible to think about but there may be something going on and her age could be playing a big part.

What foods have you tried?
At her age I wouldn't worry so much about special dog foods, she has earned her right to have some chicken dinners.
Most dogs love boiled chicken and the best part is it rarely upsets their stomachs, in fact I would recommend sick dogs try and eat some chicken.

Even if you can get her to eat I would still book her in to see a vet as soon as you can.
