Hello, We would like to ask a question about our pet Eugene. He is a stubborn 1 year old Husky-Mix. Some days ago he started eating slowly and not much. He usually eats fast and gobbles down all his food and sometimes the other dog's food too. We don't understand why he wont eat all of three-handfulls. Please help us.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Loss of appetite can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Eugene evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Lack of appetite is often the first sign of a disease, it can be something very mild or something very serious an it is a very general sign as well, so without any other symptom it is basically impossible to know what is wrong. if Max continue to suffer from lack of appetite for more than 48 hours i would definitely recommend taking him to the vet for a checkup, he might need to have a blood test done if nothing obvious shows up during the physical examination.
