Hi
I have a boxer ***** who is just over a year old and the past few days she hasn't been eating. She would start rubbing her nose on the ground as if to push it over her food and if there is a blanket she will do that to the blanket until her food is covered. I tried mixing in things to her food like liver pate or trying to give her another food but she still won't eat. She's pretty petite anyway so I'm worried she'll loose even more weight. She is a pretty sensitive dog so I don't know if this is because of her food or if it has another meaning.

Try feeding her some yogurt and see if that helps her relieve an upset stomach.

If she stays off feed for a long period, longer than a day and shows no interest in anything, you need to take her to the vet. She could have an obstruction or blockage or just might really feel that bad.

Thank you for the advice. We mixed some cream cheese into her food and she had a few bites but we are taking her to the vet tomorrow just to make sure it isn't anything more serious. She is still alert and plays with her brother but seems to have less energy. She hasn't yet lost weight but we don't want to risk it.

Did you recently change her food?

No they've been eating the same food for a good 3-4 months now and she had no problems with it before. Her brother eats it as well and he has no issues

Did you ever find out what this was caused by? Our golden retriever is doing the same thing... it's almost like he has an itch on his nose and is trying to scratch it
