My dog has not been able to eat for about a month now and he don’t eat his kibbles and…

I am very sorry your baby won’t eat. It is concerning, when our babies do not feel well. Is he drinking normally? Any vomiting after eating? If he is vomiting after eating, is it the kibble or is it yellow bile. You can always try a bland diet of white rice and boiled chicken. I also recommend seeing a veterinarian as soon as possible. Bloodwork to look at organ function is important, just to make sure everything is working properly. Along with a pancreatitis test to make sure that is ruled out. Your baby may need fluid therapy to help him flush his system. Also, is your baby known to eat any toys, grass (dirt, potted plants). Radiographs can also help and see if there is any abnormalities and make sure there isn’t a blockage of some sort. I hope this helps!

Hi! I'm sorry you and your dog are going through this. Since he has been eating very little for almost a month, I would definitely recommend taking him back to the veterinarian for a recheck as soon as possible. Have you noticed any other symptoms? Has he been vomiting or having diarrhea? Is he drinking water normally? Have you noticed any weight loss, changes in his urination, abdominal pain, or low energy? Even though he may miss you when you’re not home, I wouldn’t assume that’s the only reason he isn’t eating, especially since you mentioned that his stomach felt hard and he has already received treatment. Given how long this has been going on, the veterinarian may recommend further testing, such as blood work (CBC and chemistry), X-rays, or an abdominal ultrasound to help determine what may be causing his loss of appetite. I hope he feels better soon!

I'm really sorry to know this, reminds me of when my baby cat had a similar issue, A month of not eating is very concerning, however i wouldn't assume its because of you being away as they tend to eat when hungry even when being attached to someone. I would recommend that a vet sees him as quick as possible to find the underlying cause that led to his loss of appetite and make sure you mention the fleas and his hard stomach too. In the meantime monitor his food and water intake, his energy, if he is urinating and passing stool normally and notice if he vomits or have diarrhea. Please make sure he is examined promptly by a vet as quick as possible as a month of poor diet is an enough reason for him to be evaluated. Please keep us updated on how he does, I really hope he feels better soon.

I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this. Not eating normally for a month (especially along with the hard and painful abdomen) is very concerning and would warrant an in-person veterinary exam today. If your dog is weak, has pale gums, is vomiting, struggling to breathe or collapses, please go to an emergency veterinary hospital immediately. It is very plausible that stress from you being away could cause issues with your pup's appetite. But other serious issues could be to blame so I would recommend having him seen sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, it would not be safe to determine the cause or recommend treatment without a veterinarian examining him in person. I'd recommend contacting a vet right away and bring records with you if you are able to. This will be helpful since they will know what injections he was given. I don't recommend giving any human medications unless a veterinarian specifically instructs you to do so. Good luck to you and your pup. Please keep us updated. I hope that he is feeling more like himself very soon.

I'm sorry to hear this, that sounds really scary. A month of barely eating is a long time for a dog, and a hard belly is one of the things vets take seriously, so I'd get him back in as soon as you can rather than waiting to see if it turns around. When you go, tell them it's been a full month and that his stomach still feels hard even after the shot they gave him for it. That last part matters, because if the treatment they tried didn't change anything, they'll usually want to look further. I know it's tempting to hope it's because you're not home, but dogs will generally still eat when they're hungry even when they're missing someone. A month of this is worth treating as a medical problem. Please don't wait on this one, and go to a vet as soon as you can. I hope he's okay.
