My senior dog is losing weight fast and won't eat. What's wrong?

Hi Jesus. This tells me Kely is quite sick, she needs to see a vet immediately. She could have a serious disease occurring, like kidney failure, liver failure, heart disease, or even cancer. She will starve to death if you leave her like this, and it cannot be treated at home. Please take her into a vet immediately.
