IT sounds like Freddy has been through a lot lately. Typically older dogs with chronic issue typically are not the best eaters. I would talk with your vet about possible food suggestions for Freddy. Their are multiple prescription foods that Freddy might be able to rotate through to help with his anorexia. Also, sometimes if the disease is getting worse like the heart failure or seizures that could cause Freddy not to eat. I would recommend taking Freddy to the vet to make sure his heart and lungs are sounding okay and discuss what foods would work well with his medications. I hope that helps
