My rescue dog is skinny and won't eat or drink. Is this serious?

Question

I have a boxer mix that I got from the pound a few months ago, she’s very skinny and barely eats or drinks. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

I am sorry to hear about your concern for Luna. These symptoms are concerning and I would recommend an examination at a veterinarian as this is not normal healthy behavior. The vet will examine Luna and may recommend testing such as an fecal examination, bloodwork or x-rays based on their examination findings, and these tests will help to guide their treatment.
