My dog won't eat or drink after corneal ulcer. Is this normal?

Question

My pet is not eating or drinking on her own since she had Corneal Ulcer. Is that normal? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | unspayed | 9 lbs

Jennifer Summerfield, DVM CPDT-KA · Accepted Answer

No, it's not common to see any appetite changes with a corneal ulcer. If Mylie is on any oral medications for her eye problem, it's possible that they may be upsetting her stomach. If not, I would be concerned that she may have a separate problem causing her to not eat or drink. Either way, I would recommend calling your veterinarian or taking her back in for a recheck. She may need lab work or other testing to help determine why she isn't eating or drinking, so she can get started on appropriate treatment.
