My dog is anxious, not eating, and wants to fight strays. What to do?

Question

Hy, I have two years old golden retriever. He is a very active dog. We have big farmhouse so he gets enough space to play and walk. For some days few stray dogs are planning to attack him. He is a strong boy and wants to fight with them. So whole time he is anxious and wants to go out only. He is not eating anything( not even his favs), not playing with any of the family member( though he is playing with strangers), not responding to any of us ,not staying indoors atsll What should we do? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 7 months old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would recommend you make sure he does not go out unsupervised to avoid him getting in a fight with the other dogs as that can result in unwanted injuries. Do not let him notice the other dogs so that he does not get upset. If he continues to not eat, I recommend you have him evaluated by a veterinarian to check for any possible medical reasons to explain his lack of appetite. Best of luck!
