She was eating at first. All other funtions are normal, but now she stopped eating. We ran blood test - which came out normal. X-rays showed now blockage. Now we are trying taking her off of her anti-depressant (prescribed for separation anxiety) for 48 hours to see if that helps. Thursday my vet will refer me to an internal specialist if she hasn't eaten on her own. Since I elaborated, has anyone seen this problem before. I'm not adverse to spending $ on her to find out what is wrong.

Allergic reaction to his food. Have you changed the food brand? I also experienced this years ago when I realized there was also still soap in the water bowl from cleaning.

could be sensitive stomach, tumor somewhere else or a blockage that they can see on an x-ray. Have they told you to change the food or try a stomach coating med to help with vomiting and give your dog a bland diet?

Is his food moldy?Bowl moldy/germy?Allergic to food or bowl?What kind of food are you feeding ? Try feeding him plain cooked white rice and ground cooked hamburger mixed together for two days , check his stool to make sure it's normal,get new glass bowls.If he doesn't eat for a day , take him to a new vet.

Maybe the food she is having is too rich for her. How about mixing a little cereal in with the food, such as weetabix. It's worth a try!

Try making his food yourself.
This is a list of good and bad ingredients. You can find several specific recipes by typing "homemade dog food recipes into your search engine.

perhaps there is something in the dog food... try different brands of dog food to find the one that he likes and stays down... lamb and rice formula is widely used for puppies ... try that kind!

Did they check for pancreatitis? Sounds like you need another vet.
