Emergency vet ASAP!! This is the only thing that will rule out whether she has an obstruction that is making it impossible for her to eat. They will run all of the correct procedures. Please go now. If you wait it could cause even more pain and trauma to the dog. I hope everything goes alright. Keep me posted. Good luck

If she eats rocks, there could be a blockage and she would need a barium meal and x rays to find it. Could also be that her teeth or mouth hurt from crunching on rocks. Either way, if you can't tempt her with something like scrambled eggs or milk or chicken, take her to the vet's.

CALL YOUR VET
Refusal of food, especially in a dog that is normally a good eater, can be a sign of serious illness. Rock eating can cause damage to the digestive system and may require surgery.

Is it humid where you are? Some dogs stop eating for a day or two if it is hot. You should try and get her to drink water though. Call your vet on Monday. Too many people on here say take the dog to the vet (that cost money) Most vets if you call them will answer over the phone and give advice free.....
HAVE YOU ACTUALLY WITNESSED HER EAT A ROCK? IF SO MAKE SURE IT PASSES. MY FRIENDS WEINER DOG SWOLLED A WHOLE CHICKEN BONE (GRABBED IT OUTTA MY HAND) I CALLED THE VET AND THEY SAID TO WATCH FOR THE PASSING..THE DOG NEVER DID PASS IT AND HE IS STILL ALIVE......
My dog is the same..lays around for days when it is hot or if a storm is coming in.....

take her to the vets if she eats rocks seh may have an obstruction.
She may be sick and needs a vet t diagnose and perscribe the correct medication.
Ifshe hasn't eaten for more than two days get her to the vets immediatly and if she has then wait but get there tomorrow.

Hmm. Does she usually eat her food happily? She may be sick, or something might be upsetting her. The best thing to do would be to ask a vet. Good luck.

if your dog has been eating rocks get her to a vet immediately she could have a blockage in her stomach and this will kill her. she at least needs an x-ray to make sure there is nothing wrong so please get her to the vet asap

keep trying a variety of foods, if she wont eat at all she needs to be taken to a vet, she could be ill.

dogs eat less when its hot but if it gets to bad with my cat cat who would not eat the vet said to warm it they will be attracted to the smell and this might make her eat or do you feed her table scrapes if you do she might just want that if that's the case put some gravy or bacon grease on it
