Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach to address your concern. If he is not eating his dog food I would offer some chicken and rice and see if he is at all interested in eating that. If not, I would recommend having him examined by a veterinarian. With his age, he is at risk for contracting viral infections such as distemper and parvo virus. I would have him tested for Parvo virus if he continues to decline and also test his blood to see if there are any abnormalities. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
