Older Dog Won't Eat?

I have a 14 year old Pekingese, named Jazzy, and she will not eat. For the past 3 days she would not eat at all or at the least a piece of bacon or egg. We have always given her dried food and she has always been fine with it, but for some reason she just stopped. So today we gave her wet food and it still didn't work. I am really worried about my baby girl.

Any time a dog's appetite changes, I call the vet. He/she can tell you what's going on.

Usually it is something as simple as the heat (or cold) is getting to them and when the weather goes more moderate, all is fine, but we have had issues with teeth that needed pulled, and other general health issues that the vet figured out with blood work and meds.

Post back with an update. Prayers for healing for Jazzy!!

You need to call the vet. A dog not eating is something to be concerned about.

Contact your vet asap but in the meantime, make sure you try every type of food possible.

Take her to the vet please. My dog wouldn't eat either and I waited too long.

We have a 15 year old picky eater too. We bought some freeze dried liver treats at the pet store. It is pure liver. We grind it to powder in the blender and sprinkle on soft food.

She will eat it. Perhaps your dog can no longer eat dry food because of teeth issues. Or soak it in low sodium chicken broth.

At age 14 it is likely she is dealing with some aging issues. There are many possibilities and it takes a Vet to sort things out. You dont want things to get ahead of you or for her to be uncomfortable.

Get her into the Vet asap and let us know how things turn out.
