My dog is not eating right, i dont know if its serious or not?

Question

for the past couple of days my dog ha no been eating right. I ve tried feedin her different things but she doesnt want to eat them. This all started when my fiance decided to give her a weenie adn chicken. I dont like feeding my dog any type of human food. i am really worried. All she is eating is her dog treats. She is still hyper adn runs around a lot. If anyone can help me i would greatly apprecitate it.

Answer 1

If she is hungry she will eat provided there is nothing wrong with her.
As she happy and running around I would go out on a limb and say she is fine just being fussy.
Just give her what she would normally have and don't pander to her.
As long as she is bright and not lethargic or loosing weight then she is fine.

Answer 2

It sounds like she has an upset tummy. When dogs are primarily fed dog food and they get a treat of human food, it can upset their stomach terribly because they are not used to it. However, she should be over it since it happened a couple of days ago.

Whatever you do...don't baby her by feeding her treats all of the time. She will learn VERY quickly that her actions are getting her treats! They are very smart animals and can figure things out fast!

It's possible she may have eaten some foreign object. Make sure she is moving her bowels. You might want to have a look when she defecates to make sure there is no blood present.

If she is still acting odd in a couple of days, take her to the vet.

If she starts vomiting, take her in immediately.

Answer 3

OK, since she was given chicken -- with the bones??? If so, check her stools, are they bloody? If so, get her to the Vet's right away, the bones could have cut her intestines. IF she is pooping and peeing normally - she just might be having a temper tantrum -- she wants more people food OR she cannot tolerate human food, my daughter has a Siberian Husky that gets VERY ill whenever he gets human food. You know her better than any of us ever could -- YOU have to make the choice -- does she seem hurt (see the Vet) or holding out for more nummies?

Answer 4

A sign that your dog is not eating right could be serious.....we had a dog, and she started eating only half her food, then only treats, then only table food....
After a week and of her only eating treats, and about half of her regular food we took her to the vets. It took a long time to diagnose, but we think she had an auto immune disorder, or cancer. Despite 2 blood transfusions, she had died a month later.
I suggest that anyone who has a dog not eating right get it to the vet right away, it could be the start of something serious.

Answer 5

It could be her stomach is upset from the human food. I do feed my dog human food sometimes. Dogs can eat raw meat. I know this sounds funny. Just think about it though, wolves in the wild eat rabbits, and live animals. One time I fed my dog fried chicken, and another time a braut. He pooped blood after, and could not eat for 3 days. Fried food, or food your dog is not use to can mess its stomach up. Good Luck w/ your dog!

Answer 6

You definatly need to send your dog to the vet immediatly. This could be a sign of pancreotitus, if she has been vomiting or having diarrhea. But even if she hasn't been getting sick you should still consult a vet. There are lower-cost vet clinics where you can send her and not pay as much. If you don't take her to the vet she could get worse and worse. My dog gunner has been really sick puking and has been really hyper but really sick.

Answer 7

Wouldn't taking your dog to the vet be the first thing a responsible owner does?

Answer 8

Answer 9

Take her to the Veteranarian.

Answer 10
