My Cavalier King Charles Dog has stopped eating

Aren't the brains of these dogs too big for their skulls? So cruel to breed them.

Is he a rescue dog?

See a Vet as dog may have intest final obstruction. Seriously see a vet

Please get him to the vet ASAP!

Go to the ER Vet.

Cut your own head off because you are too stupid to live.

R5 is correct.

Beautiful ears!

How old is he, OP?

He might have a dental problem that makes it painful to eat. The vet needs to look at his teeth.

If only there were such a thing as a doctor for pets, who might have professional training so as to tell you what to do! But of course such things do not exist.

Try giving Jim a steak cut up in small pieces.

Giving "HIM" a steak. But you can give Jim one too.

Hershey's chocolate syrup. Lots of it.

Shove that squeeze bottle down his gullet and go to town.

He'll be fine in the morning.

Go to the vet. Do it now.

Vet first.

If everything checks out OK, try making his meal time more interesting, like using a snuffle mat. You can also scatter the food in the grass so he has to hunt for it. That makes me dog so dang happy.

Making meal time mentally enriching is good for their mental health.

But again, the vet should be your first choice when your dog has a sudden change in behavior.

Please keep us updated.

How old is he, how long have you had him, and what are you feeding him, OP? Did you change his food?

If he’s older, it could be dental problems. He could be in a lot of pain. Take him ASAP.

Pancreatitis

Age?

Vet, now

He is five years old. We took him to the vet and he is fine. The vet said these dogs can be fussy, if they want , and go without eating for three days as long as he is drinking water, which he was. After two days of hand feeding him, and a big poop this morning, the vet said he is just being fussy. He said to put the food down and if he doesn't eat, pick it back up and try again a half hour later. If he hasn't eaten by the end of the night, throw it out and start the process again tomorrow. When he gets hungry he will eat. But, as long as he is drinking water and pooping his internal process is fine. I don't know about this.

Thanks for the update, OP.

what are you feeding him?

Thank you for updating. I'm glad to know there is no apparent physical ailment.

Again, I recommend trying to make meals mentally stimulating for him. Or try sprinkling something tasty on top. Purina makes a probiotic powder that my dogs go crazy for. Or a little egg yolk. Something enticing.

I'd get bored of eating the same thing every day.

Show your spoiled dog videos of starving street dogs in India. Tell him if he doesn't eat what you give him, you will send him to India to join the other dogs.

And after he starves, why don't you get a rescue dog who will be happy to eat any god damn food you give him.

To me it seems strange he would suddenly become fussy with food at 5 years, especially if it's his regular food. I assume vets know from experience. Hope he's better.

if you are feeding him tye same food you always do I bet they changed the formulation. they do it all the time.

Still give him the chocolate.

When my dog loses appetite, I always feed her Hermovit kid syrup to make her hungry and re-nourish her. Also syringe feed her Royal Canin Recovery until she wants to eat by herself. If that continues longer than 3 days, I will take her to the vet. Pyometa, heart disease, intestinal blockage, can cause dogs to lose appetite.

My dog eats fresh food from nomnomnow.com and he does like it. I think he ate a lizard and got sick. He loves to chase lizards, but they are not good to eat. He has done this before, which is why I didn't really panic cause he still like to go on his walks.

He has the Canine Corona Virus, OP. Make the most of your last days with him.

He is training you, OP. You can either turn the tables and train him, or you can succumb.

The vet is right: if there's nothing wrong with him, he'll eat when he's hungry, and he certainly won't die in the meantime.

OP, Thanks for the update. I was worried about your doggie.
