My dog is not eating much, has smelly breath, lost weight a little, and is quiet. No other symptoms, no vomiting, no loose stool, he has epilepsy and had a double seizure 3 weeks ago then perked up fine. These symptoms are unusual. He is walking and playing still, fully alert.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am sorry to hear that Argyll is not feeling well. His lack of appetite may be linked to the seizure episodes or of course it could be due to many other things such as pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, inflammatory bowel disease, among many other possibilities. It seems like his seizures are not completely controlled at the moment. It would be a good idea to let your veterinarian know as other seizure medications can be added to his anti-seizure medication protocol. Some of the diagnostics that can be considered to work up the lack of appetite is bloodwork and abdominal imaging, among other diagnostics. Good luck and have a good day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
