My very sick dog won't eat, not even treats, and I have a lot of medications to give her

That definitely sounds concerning, and I'm glad you're reaching out. When a dog won't eat, especially if they're already sick, it can be quite worrisome. Loss of appetite can be due to many things, such as nausea from an illness, pain, or side effects of medication. Since your dog needs to take medications, it's important to ensure she's getting the right nutrients and hydration.



First, try small, bland meals like boiled chicken and rice, which can be easy on the stomach and sometimes encourage eating. If she's really resistant, warming the food up can sometimes make it more appealing. Make sure she has access to fresh, clean water, as staying hydrated is crucial.



If she refuses food entirely, take note of any other symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or coughing. These could indicate something more serious and may require quick veterinary intervention. With medications, never force them if your dog is not eating, as they can make her nausea worse or irritate her stomach even further.



You're doing the right thing by being vigilant. It would be beneficial to book a video consult with us here at Dial A Vet. This way, we can discuss your dog's condition in more detail and provide specific advice tailored for her needs.
