I have a 9mo large breed dog. For the past few days she has ate almost nothing. About a week ago I gave her a de-worming pill for the first time. I am not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. Thanks for your advice.

Not eating is a bad sign. Especially for such a young dog. Take it to your Vet ASAP.

No a wormer wouldnt do that. Sometimes dogs get fussy with food. I have 6 labs and man I always have someone who doent want to eat. Useally its during a show week when we work alot or when one of the girls is in heat. When this happens I put some blueberrys or raspburrys or jam in the food and mix it well dont put in much maybe a tablespoon. Watch that pup put it down. Works all the time. Then back off on it a little at a time.

You need to take your dog in for a check up. They will not eat if something is wrong. He may have ate something that he should not have. Without knowing his shot history or his deworming history, then it would be hard to say what is wrong. I would get him in the vet for a check up. It could be serious. I would get him heartworm tested and get him on a monthly intercepter to cotrol worms year round. And keep up with yearly shots.

This could mean serious issues you need to take the dog to a vet ASAP large breed dogs need the right nutrition or they can suffer later on.

Your dog needs a trip to the vet. It is unlikely that the worming pill is causing her not to eat. Is she spayed? Is she having vomiting or diarrhea? Is she lethargic? Please take her in ASAP. She needs professional care. It is impossible to know what's wrong without an examination by the vet, at a minimum. Good luck.

What was the pill? Was it the proper dosage for a dog her age / size? Did the vet give this pill to you? Why did you de worm her? Did you see worms, do you know what kind they were and are you treating them properly?

Try some of your dog's favorite foods. If your dog still does not eat, make sure that this is a side effect. If not, then you should see the vet. This might be serious.

Maybe because you don't have the right dog food? Or maybe it could be that your dog has an upset stomach and they won't eat if they have one.
You just have to keep encouraging the food and experiment. For example: You could try putting a little water in it to mix it up. Just try it and see if it works!!!
