First thing I would recommend is having Max seen by a vet. A decrease in appetite can be an indication of a medical problem such as dental disease, systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury. Once a medical reason is ruled in or out, the vet can discuss if treatment options are needed for him, or if behavioral measures need to be taken to get him eating his food again. I would take him into a vet today or tomorrow. Best of luck!
