Why is my dog suddenly refusing kibble and having yellow, loose stool?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 1 year and 4 months old | 55 lbs

my dog is not eating his kibble that he has been eating for over a year now. He is a husky cross labrador and is 1y 4 months old. He scoffs down his meat but refuses his kibble. He did a poop on a walk and it was yellow and loose. He has a black nose but he has a little pink spot on it that im pretty sure is just from scratching. Please help i dont know if he has a liver disease.

It could just be that Caeser is experiencing some GI upset, and a bland meal of boiled rice and chicken may help to settle his stomach if it's only happened once. If the problem persists, or you suspect he is having issues such as liver problems, a vet visit and bloodwork can help figure out the cause of the loose stool.
