Why is my unspayed female dog not eating and refusing all food?

Question

Need help getting my dog to eat she won't eat anything. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Nala is likely not eating anything because she may be sick. You can try to warm up her food and offer her the food that way. However, since she is not spayed there is always a chance she has a uterine infection, sometimes there is a visible discharge from her vulva. Drinking a lot would also be a sign of an infection. Not eating is a very general sign of illness, so she could be suffering from a wide variety of conditions and you should make an appointment with your vet for an exam. Your vet may want to do blood work and, if he suspects a problem in his abdomen, also x-rays.
