My dog is about to turn 17. He's a Shih Tzu. He has nearsightedness and diminished hearing. Is able mobile. But has in the past year lost a lot of weight. Near skin and bones. But till about a week ago he's had a good appetite. He still drinks a lot of water.
Has he started giving up on life? Past two days he's been refusing even his favourite Greenies treats. Though, he has eaten it a few days ago. Or day before yesterday night.
When he's not sleeping he's alert. He wanders around. When we go for walks he sniffs around. So perhaps he hasn't given up on life yet. Doesn't seem to be in any pain.
I don't think it's his time yet. As he is drinking water. He is pooping normally. Though lately I'm not sure what he's been pooping since he hasn't eaten in 2 days.Could the Greenies treats be too rich for his stomach now and has made him feel full?
Hard to say I know.
Educated guesses.
