My Havanese's eating habits changed. When should I see a vet?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ella. I do recommend that she sees her veterinarian. The sudden change in appetite can indicate a problem. She will thoroughly examined for any source of pain or nausea. From there, diagnostics or treatment can be discussed. I hope this information helps!

I am so sorry to hear about your dog! With a sudden change in behavior like this I would recommend having her examined by a vet to ensure there isn't a medical cause. Occasionally we can have diseases that cause a change in appetite/behavior such as this, so it is best to have her examined to ensure there isn't a medical treatment to resolve the issue!

If it is a new food Honey has never had before, that could be the problem. It could also be she's not feeling well at the moment. Given this just started, I'd keep an eye on her for now. Should this behavior continue over the next 24 hours, I'd start to get worried and have her seen by a vet. I hope this helps!

Hi. Poor baby :( That definitely is concerning especially for a puppy. There are obviously alot of causes for not eating. It could range from parasites, to dietary indiscretions, to viral infection (parvo), and many other illnesses. I would recommend getting Jax seen tomorrow at your vet or the ER because puppies can get dehydrated, hypoglycemic and decompensate quickly. They will do an exam, a parvo test, and a fecal to start most likely. Good luck

If Nemmy is acting normally without any vomiting or diarrhea, there is likely no reason for concern at this point. You can wait until tomorrow to see if she is willing to eat as ravenously as she normally does. However, if she is lethargic, or showing signs of vomiting or diarrhea, it may be worth a trip to the vet today to assure that nothing more serious is at play. You can try tempting her to eat with a bit of a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and white rice. I hope that all goes well!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Wookon. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. There is likely an underlying reason that he is having a decreased appetite. He could have a bad tooth, an upset stomach (even with normal bowel movements) or be experiencing pain elsewhere in his body. His veterinarian will perform a thorough examination and then make treatment or diagnostic recommendations. In the meantime, you can try offering warm water in the kibble or some warmed canned food. I hope this information helps!

If only Sydney could talk! It could be related to her teething. You may try soaking the kibble in warm water until it is softer. See if she will eat it that way. Its also possible you are feeding her too much. Puppies eat a lot while they are rapidly growing but then the growth slows down and they don't need as many calories (although they are still growing). If soaking the kibble doesn't help or if she begins to show any signs of illness, I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian and checked for parasites. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
