My dog isn't eating, drooling, and has stomach issues. What's wrong?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | unneutered | 11 years and 1 month old

my 11 year pomeranian dog is not eating from past 1 week. He has these continuous contractions in his lower abdominal area like hiccups. he is also drooling constantly. which is very unlike him. he is dull. when i coax him to eat, he eats a bite but stops after that. but he drinks water when thirsty. he shows response to food. but doesn't eat.

If your dog hasn't eaten in a week, there is something very gravely wrong with him and he needs to see a vet right away. He may have an infection, or cancer, or have swallowed something stuck in his gastrointestinal tract, or any number of serious things going on. You need to take him in to see a vet as soon as possible.
