Dog won't eat
I just had to put down one of my dogs. Now the other one hasn't eaten or drank in 4 days. Therefore, she hasn't "gone potty" in 4 days either. I'm worried that her organs will shut down. What can we do??

Boil 2-3 chicken thighs (remove skin after cooking) Chop chicken into small pieces Mix the rice with the chicken. Try feeding small portions of this to your dog and aim for 4 feedings per day. If the dog refuses to eat the chicken/rice mixture then run the pooch to the Vet ASAP. I have rarely seen a pooch refuse rice/chicken but the ones that have require the attention of a Vet. Good luck. |

Clip's got the right idea, although I use chicken breast since it's "white" meat, and add a little cottage cheese to that. You might be able to "tempt" her with her favorite food if the chick/rice mix doesn't work. Anything she REALLY loves but doesn't get very often? Don't give her too much of any one thing but if you can "jump start" her appetite, it might help. A healthy dog can go 48 hours or so without much problem. Dogs are often fasted before surgery and do just fine. Four days is a bit much if you're sure she hasn't had anything. I'm so sorry about your other dog. Please let us know what happens. ((hugs)) |

Re: Dog won't eat
Just thought of something... do you have any boullion around the
house? Make up some of that, let it cool and see if your dog will drink some. It's salty but again, it will tempt and maybe at least start the process off. The other thing that you might try is Pedialyte or similar product. |

Re: Dog won't eat
She is in mourning.
 But she needs fluids now. The special menu should work its the liquids that I'm concerned about. So very sad you had to put down your dog..

Re: Dog won't eat
I'm sorry Rain that you lost your dog and now this is happening. I send out two prayers, one for your angel dog and one for your lonesome one.

Re: Dog won't eat
It could well be mourning, but then I don't know why your other dog was put to sleep.
While the rice and chicken (and everything else) suggested above are wonderful things - personally, after 4 days, I would go to the vet first. Like right now. Especially if your other dog was ill.
