Any vets or vet techs?

I have an appointment with a vet for my dog (tomorrow morning). He hasn't eaten in 2 days, although he will still drink water. He has NO diarrhea or vomiting. I have tried all sorts of palatable treats - roast beef, chicken, baby food - he has no interest. He is very young - 1 year old, and has had vaccinations. Please give me some general ideas of some of the conditions that could cause this. Thanks
Answers:
I'm a vet tech student, and it is really hard to say what the problem could be. Is he tired, not playing, any change in diet? Is he eating grass when he goes outside? Probably first they will take blood, and check all his blood cell levels, that can tell you if there is an infection. Then maybe a belly X-ray just to see if he ate anything he shouldn't have. Plus this might tell them if he has bloat. They might want to try him on a laxative to see if its a pooping problem.
Good luck and if possible, let me know how he does?

It sounds a lot like parvo in the beginning. Often its not noticed until the outragous diarhea starts.

Any chance of Lyme's disease? Generally if a dog will not eat it is due to nausea. Just keep your appointment, the question is pretty vague and really will requires a full exam. I have noticed it with dogs which have Lyme's although they are vaccinated, they still can get the disease.

Good luck!

There are many different things that can cause these symptoms. You are doing the best and only right thing by taking him to the Vet.
I am a Vet Tech and sometimes we see this behavior when dogs eat things there not supposed to. Sometimes it could just be a little fever.
Important is, that you tell your Vet all the details and anything that seemed abnormal to you in the last few days! Even if you think it might be irrelevant.
I hope your dog feels better soon!

You might want to see if you can get him in today. If he has all his vaccinations I doubt it is parvo.

The first reason is that your dog is not feeling well. Instead of trying to force your dog to eat, pull the dish away and let your dog skip the meal. Don鈥檛 try to coax your dog with special treats, gravy, or anything else. Contact your vet if you suspect a medical issue.

The second possible cause of a dog not eating food is how you have trained your dog. Picky eaters are trained, not born. If you enjoy pampering your dog, then this isn鈥檛 a problem. Keep the meals balanced and healthy and your dog will be fine. However, if you feel it is an issue, you do have options. For example, you can provide your dog with premium dog food. This is always better than offering your dog human food.

The third reason for a dog not eating food is that your dog has found another source of food. Dogs will eat garbage, cat stools, compost bin scraps, and more. Perhaps your dog has started eating the cat鈥檚 food or he鈥檚 been getting food from your counter. Also, some neighbors might start feeding your dog. The best advice to resolve this issue is to know what your dog is doing and where they are going.

See the vet..
