Vanessa Yeager DVM MPH · Accepted Answer

There can be a number of causes for loss of appetite in dogs. Problems with the teeth or oral cavity can be a cause. Kidney or liver problems, endocrine or metabolic disorders such as diabetes, Addison's disease, thyroid disorders, or pancreatitis. Bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections can also be a possibility. I would recommend Faye sees her veterinarian very soon for an exam and perhaps blood work to help determine what is going on.
