Hi there! It's concerning to hear that your pet hasn't eaten for such an extended period. Let's go over some potential reasons and what you can do at home.
Loss of appetite can be due to a variety of factors, including stress, dental issues, digestive problems, or even more serious underlying conditions like kidney or liver disease. It's important to observe whether your pet is exhibiting any other symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or weight loss, as these can give us more clues.
At home, you can try offering your pet a range of foods to entice them, such as warm, soft, or specially-prepared meals. Sometimes a change in texture or temperature can make food more appealing. Ensure they have fresh water at all times and monitor their drinking habits.
However, if your pet truly hasn’t eaten for a month, this is definitely a serious concern. It’s crucial to look out for signs like extreme weakness, sunken eyes, or changes in behavior, as these may indicate a critical situation.
For a comprehensive assessment and personalized advice, it's best to book a video consult with one of our veterinarians here at Dial A Vet. We’re here to help you get to the root of the problem and guide you in taking the best possible care of your cherished companion.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
