Why is my dog not eating, sleeping a lot, and has a warm stomach?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 12 lbs

My dog hasn’t been eating well, she doesn’t want to do much anymore but sleep. She’s been like this for a week already, her tummy is pretty warm. She’s not throwing up and she doesn’t have diarrhea. What’s wrong with her?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Loss of appetite and lethargy can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Luna 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!
