Golden Retrivers

[kayjay_1000]

My 7 year old female golden retirver is usally a dog with a big appitite she even eats my others dogs food too. but recently me and my mum and dad had to go and stay round my sisters house to help her out for about 6 days and left the dog at home with my nan and now she has been starving herself since we got back which was about a week ago she eats a few biscuits out of the bowl, we have tried her on every thing even just meat which uaslly she loves but cant have as it upsets her stomach but she just turned her nose up and walked away. she has been acting normally apart from the eating but also she has been in season for about 4 weeks now. but she had a fine appitie untill we got back home. can any body suggest any thing to help her or me. Thank You and i hope u havent been to confused by what i have wrote x x x

How long has she not been eating for?  Is she vomiting anything she does eat? - an obstruction in the gut could cause this.  Some dogs won't eat if their teeth are sore.

You need to take her to your vet, not eating can be a symptom of something more serious!

Serious or not, your vet will be able to advise you further!

sorry, biref answer, but  have 2 x 3 yr old golden rets, and although i was brought up with dogs since i was a small child, my natural paranoia tells me to seek someone with a few years' specialist training whenever the dogs are ill. it's best, i think.
