Hi my 8year old border collie hasn’t been well this week, he was sick on Monday night and then again on Thursday hasn’t really been eating apart from a bit of chicken Thursday night and a bit on Friday, hasn’t been his usual playful self, or wanting to play ball, any help would be great. Thanks

I’m sorry to hear Prince isn’t feeling well. Since this has been going on for several days already I would recommend that he be seen by a veterinarian. Based on findings from his physical exam, they may recommend an X-ray and/or blood work. An anti nausea medication may be recommended as well. Good luck to Prince, and I hope he improves soon.
