We moved a week ago and my 6 year old pittie has only eaten a couple bites of a cheeseburger since. She won't take treats, human food, or anything. She is still drinking water though. We lived in same house for about 5 years with my boyfriend who had another dog for first 2 years. Then she became the only animal in house.
In our new house we have 2 roommates and an outside dog, a cat, and a small inside dog. She is doing fine with the other animals, but won't eat. I have tried moving her dishes into our room, the shared part of house and everything I can think of. She seems to be sad and now I'm seeing her moving slower. It seems harder for her to get up stairs and in car. I plan on calling vet tomorrow, but just looking for suggestions. Thank you.

Something is definitely wrong and you are right to take her to your vet immediately. She may have difficulties from moving to a brand new home situation with new animals to deal with but may have another medical problem not related to moving.
I hope that you are having success with your dog and eating. I do hope that you went to the vet about it. It is possible that it is all just the stress of moving and general upheaval. It is also possible that your pooch has a health problem. My poodle/shi tzu recently stopped eating, has been acting depressed, lethargic and also presented with a fever. We took her to the vet, had blood work done and she has a tick born blood problem called Ehrlichiosis. It basically attacks the blood cells, destroying them, causing there to be less of all kinds of bloodcells. She is on an antibiotic, had IV medication, etc. She is still only eating what we physically put in her mouth, but hopefully she will come around. If it doesn't work, she will need a blood transfusion...
