Guest amour Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 My boy is a very shy one! He is used to a quiet house wth just DH and me.Went to granddaughter's ist birthday out of town--lots of noise, people, commossion. My boy was fine when we left on Frid morning (came back the next day). He has not eaten or drank anything since yesterday morning.Coaxing doesn't work--flavored water with Gatorade, tried beef stock flavored water, nothing. Could this be from him being overly stressed from this trip? When should I start to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I would say, most likely, yes, it COULD be from all the commotion and stress. When Curfew was first adopted, he HATED anything from the outside. He woudln't leave my bedroom for the first six months with me, except to potty. I'd say, if your boy doesn't rally by tomorrow, I'd get him looked at, but for now, maybe he is just trying to get over it all. Too many kids, including MY OWN grandkids, can do this to me also! Just NOT a kid person, I guess. Maybe try his favorite treats????? Good luck and lots of love! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LindsaySF Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 He could just be stressed. Did you try canned food or some 'people food' like meat? I would leave his water out for him, he might sneak a drink when you aren't looking. Is he still peeing and pooping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicocat Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 It could be stress. Try sitting with him and hand feeding him and offering him water. Quote Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just see what STRESS can do! I mean, look at we humans, when it comes to stress! Some of eat too much. Some of us, sleep too much. Some of us cannot eat, etc., etc., etc. Why should sensitive dogs like greyhounds be any different, right? Happy all is well in your world! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
