Not eating

[Lutgard 1]

Going back to an earlier post, Link is in Season at the moment and Kaiser has been unusually picky with his food, so could be due to a bitch in season nearby
Or more likely an obstruction IMO

Have you tried other types of food ? Cooked or raw chicken, tuna, cheese by themselves not mixed in with his dried food ? I would be trying all types of food to find out whether he's actually just being fussy and wants something more tasty, he may just be bored with his food and living off reserves. Try him with a raw meaty bone ?

Hi Linda,
Funny you say obstruction, he did eventually poop last night on a walk, it was only a little bit, (runny) and I thought well thats due to not eating, however, he got me up around 4am and diarrhea burst out like a shotgun. (dark and VERY smelly) This morning he seems perkier, and ate some scrambled egg sweet as a nut. So it may be a blockage, and its gone. Im stumped how, and why?

Defo sounds like an obstruction
Its either partially passed or hopefully all passed through
Possibly a stick or other foreign body consumed during his walk
Could it have lodged between mouth and Gut? Might never know x

I was thinking a blockage too, that's why I asked about the vet doing a scan.

Sounds like he sorted himself out though - good boy! Hopefully he's on the mend now!

Glad he's eating again - must have been a worrying time for you.
