My dog didn't eat while I was away and seems skinny. Is this normal?

Question

I went for a trip during the weekend and left Asuna and her ssisters in my friends care. He took good care of them but he did tell me that Asuna didnt want to eat much since I left. When I came back last night she was her usual hyper self but I noticed she was skinner and I could also see it in her face.I fed her dry dog food with wet canned food that she loves and she ate it no problem.Is there anything else I can do? Im a bit worried, but this is the first time I left her for more than a day. Pet's info: Dog | Husky | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 29 days old

Since Asuna was willing to eat and is not having any vomiting or diarrhea I wouldn’t worry too much. Not eating for a couple of days because she was stressed and missing you should not affect her overall health. However, if she continues to appear to lose weight despite eating well and being home with you, then you should take her to be checked out. I hope this helps.
