However, he hasn't eaten for the past
two days (not even his favorite snacks). He hides under the bed and won't
come out for anything. Took him to the vet and they drained his anal
glands (which they thought might be the cause of his discomfort) and did
blood work to which they found nothing out of the ordinary. I don't know
what to do but I know he is not acting like himself. I don't know where
else to turn to find out how to help him. If anyone has any suggestions,
I'm desperate. It makes me cry to see him like this. Please help
Take him to the vet again. If they won't do anything, take him to another
vet.
In the meantime (I am not a vet, so take this advice for what you paid for
it), try really stinky smelly thigs to get food in his stomach. If he
normally eats dry food, try some wet dog food (the stuff with gravy). Try
hardboiled eggs, cheese, all-beef (or turkey, or chicken or pork) hotdogs.
Something to get food in him.
But above all else, find a vet. You might ask the vet to check his teeth,
jaw or esophagous. If they are swollen, inflamed or infected, he might not
want to eat because it hurts too much.
