Dog not eating in winter? What causes it and what steps to take?

The first thing to do is get her in to see the vet to find out if there is some kind of underlying illness that is causing her to lose her appetite. She may have an allergy, some kind of painful condition that makes her not want to eat, a metabolic disorder, there are any number of possibilities. I recommend getting her checked by your vet as soon as possible for an exam and labwork,even x-rays if the other tests are inconclusive. Based on these results your vet will be better able to tell you what's going on and how best to treat it.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Blacky. I recommend seeking veterinary care for him as soon as possible. Several weeks is way too long for a puppy to go without proper nutrition. Based on his exam findings, fecal testing will be recommended to look for any intestinal parasites or other intestinal infections. Based on these results, either treatment can be recommended or further testing if necessary. He may require deworming medication, antibiotics and fluids to rehydrate him. I hope this information helps!

I am sorry to hear Blackie isn't feeling well. I would be very concerned about a GI foreign body. I recommend taking her to a vet ASAP for an exam and radiographs. Even if she is drinking water, she is not drinking enough to combat the vomiting and is probably dehydrated. Please do not give any more medications as you may be making things worse. Please take her to a vet right away! Good luck and kisses to Blackie!

There could be a couple of reasons why Rosco isn't eating. It could be he has a dental problem, systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury causing the lack of appetite. I think having him seen by a vet in the morning for a health check is the best idea. Best of luck.

For a dog that usually eats well, 5 days is getting a little long to let it go. I would recommend that you have Panda checked out by a vet to see what could be going on. There are so many things that could be causing his vague symptoms, including pain, infection, intestinal issues (including obstruction), among many others. After physical examination and a thorough medical history discussion, your vet may recommend treatment, bloodwork, or x-rays to see what could be going on.

Not eating or more than just a day is definitely concerning, particularly if this is highly unusual and she's turning away things like chicken. I would be concerned about some sort of infectious or inflammatory process going on, a primary or secondary gastrointestinal issue, or one of her organ systems (liver or kidney) acting up in some fashion. If she also isn't taking anything to drink, I would definitely be worrying about dehydration setting in. If she hasn't taken anything for you by the morning, get her into the veterinarian for a check up. Unless they are able to make a determination which is obvious based on physical exam, they will want to likely run some diagnostic blood work and perhaps imaging. Hope this makes sense.

There could be a number of reasons why Maddyson isn't eating including systemic illness, infection, injury, or even a pyometra. Without seeing her in person, I cannot make a diagnosis. Please have her seen by a vet today.
