Hi. I think my dog has an ulcer. Because i can hear frequent rumbling sounds in her stomach.. last night my mom said that she ate. But this morning we have a difficult time to make her eat. Should i take her to the vet like right now?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Loss of appetite can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Mawi evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
