Hi, my 11 years old male labrador is not eating anything for last 3 to 4 days. He is a very healthy dog and never had any illness, though i would mention that he had cough from last 2 months but his appetite was completely normal. He is also getting lethargic with time, and for last 3-4 days he is just lying down most of the time, and only get up to drink some water sometimes. we are trying to feed him his favorite food by hand which he tries to taste and eats sometimes, but very little amount. His stomach also looks a bit bloated, also he is peeing but not shitting. Please tell me what can be the cause, are these his last days or some other issue ? Thank you.
Take him to the vet as soon as you can. Not eating is a sign that something is not right, also being lethargic is another sign. There are several things it could be, you really need to see a vet pronto.
Hello, and welcome - sorry it is troubles that has brought you here. Very much agree with Stacia - vet, as soon as you can get him seen.
Hello Oark. This sounds worrying. I wouldn't delay, take your dog to the vet as soon as possible. If this was my dog I would be very worried.
Sorry to hear that your dog is not well. Anytime a dog refuses to eat, when usually that dog has a normal appetite - that is a time when you must go to the vet right away.
I agree with everyone else, especially if he looks bloated on top of the other symptoms. Please let us know how you get on.
