My older dog is eating less and losing weight. What should I do?

Question

Stitch doesn’t want to eat, i don’t see him sad or sick, his behavior is normal but he eat half or less from his bowl, and he’s losing weight :( What can I do? Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Male | 12 years and 8 months old

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

The weight loss and the not eating may indicate a disease state. At 12 years old, things like kidney disease and cancer become more worrisome. I recommend to have Stitch examined by the veterinarian and plan on running some diagnostics to go looking for any problems. Best of luck.
