I’m so sorry. There are so many different things that can cause them to not want to eat from poor teeth to infections to other things. I would have your vet take a look at him to determine the cause. your vet will be able to get him started on the best treatment plan to help him feel better and hopefully get his appetite back up and going. You could try to feel fresh fruits and veggies if you haven’t already. I hope this helps!
