Burpdog Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Are you using prilosec or pepcid? Might be his stomach. Also, talk to vet about low dose pred to stimulate his appetite if the stomach meds don't work.

Jiffer Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Yup, sounds like an upset tummy. Poor baby. Hopefully Diane's suggestion will work and he'll be up enjoying cheese and peanut butter in no time Quote Jennifer and Beamish (an unnamed Irish-born Racer) DOB: October 30, 2011 Forever and always missing my "Vowels", Icarus, Atlas, Orion, Uber, and Miss Echo, and Mojito.

PAWsPups Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Sometimes when my almost 15 yr. old Willow won't eat, I put a few dollups of canned cat food on top of her food (which is usually a little kibble and some steak or other yummy food I have cooked for her). Its stinky and she seems to really enjoy it. I know its probably not the best thing for her, but it beats not eating at all.

Guest Ola Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 In addition to canned food or canned cat food, I would also try canned green tripe. Most dogs seem to go crazy for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I reccommended canned Jack Mackeral mixed with with their kibble to a friend whose grey had osteo and no appetite...she said it worked wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trevdog Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 You could try tuna as well.....and mine love their tripe. Maybe he would eat that..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinM Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Try the EVO/innova wet foods which are high in calorie/protein. A little goes a long way. It's NOT sold at petco, But it is at pets plus. Call first. It's in the holistic section. Best of luck.
