I had my neighbors watch my dog Castiel while I was gone on vacation and since I got back and brought him home almost 2 days ago he’s refusing to eat or drink anything . His behavior is about the same as it usually is , he just won’t eat or drink anything and it’s starting to worry me . He’s had some health problems in the passed (to seizures) but nothing that’s ever stopped him/made him not want to eat . He usually eats 3-4 times a day and drinks a good amount of water . He’s about 4 years old

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Castiel. He is likely stressed from your absence and it has affected his appetite. However, being a small dog, I am worried about him becoming dehydrated from not drinking. He will need to see his veterinarian to ensure there is not another cause for his inappetance. In the meantime, give him lots of love and attention. You can try offering low sodium chicken broth to see if that will encourage him to drink. I hope this information helps!
