Hello,
my 7 mos old german sheppard is refusing to eat. I am trying everything: wet and dry food, gravy, new food, frozen food and honey. The fecal exam test didn't show any infection. If you have any ideas..I need your help!!

Have you been to the vet? If so what did he say? Is your pup drinking water?

Sometimes dogs will fast themselves naturally if their not feeling well. Has your dog shown any other symptoms of being ill - lethargy, vomiting, runny poop etc.

A day or two of fasting is sometimes normal but watch for any signs of being unwell. Then I would take to the vet once your sure s/hes not being fussy.

Some dogs are fussy and some owners worry more that they need to. Your dog might simply be not hungry, just make sure he/she is drinking water. If he/she isn't drinking, put a little milk in the water to entice her.
