Hello and thank you for your post! If Ambrose will not eat anything, this could be due to stress of a new environment or a systemic illness or infection. If blood work has not been performed recently, I would get Ambrose seen by a veterinarian for an examination and further diagnostic testing. I would initially start with a blood panel for Diagnostic testing. As this will rule out a lot of potential causes. If you haven't tried multiple Foods, I would try and offer several types of canned or dry food to see if any of those Spike interest. I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available to consult with via text or phone if needed.
