2 Weeks... Not Hungry... Seems Happy
Hey All,
My yellow lab Toohey hasn't had much of an appetite for the last two weeks. He acts happy, not quite as hyper as usual but by no means has he been lethargic or acting depressed. We have taken him to two vets, blood tests and x-rays show no issues. Neither vet is concerned saying that dogs sometimes go through this stuff, but 2 weeks seems like a really long time for Toohey to eat at most 1/4 of a can of wet food a day....and maybe some of my daughters Cheerios(regular) that she drops as she wonders around the house.
At the very beginning of this he did throw up a couple of times and he had diarrhea, but this was only at the very beginning. The limited bowel movements he's had since then have been slightly soft but still solid.
My wife is pregnant with our 2nd child so I'm not sure if he's off his food because of the crazy hormones floating around the house or what the deal is.
Side note: every now and then he will eat something. He ate a full can of dog food right in front of the 2nd vet (of course his behavior changes at the vet right?) and I've cooked up some eggs for him and he's eaten that eagerly.
I'm just not sure if I should be worrying more or if I should just let him go through this phase, but this dog (like most labs) typically tears into his food bowl and is done in about 20 seconds. Just looking to see if anyone else has had any issues like this.
Thanks.
