Why won't my 10-month-old male Lab eat? Could it be hormones?

Question

Hi doc, my lab of 10 months suddenly stopped eating in the morning for a couple days now. He also refuses to eat in the evening, however, mixing the kibble with a bit of peanut butter tempts him to eat. I can’t figure out this sudden change. His behavior seems normal, active and playful and he does respond on treats. Could you please give your advice? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | 10 months and 11 days old

This may be normal in an un-neutered male dog as his hormones are kicking in. I suggest you get some canned dog food to mix in with his dry food. Peanut butter is very high in fat and can cause pancreatitis. I suggest you try this first.
