Sick neo won't eat

[jag19725]

My 10 month old neo has phenomia and I can't get him to eat. I need help ideas to help get him to eat any advice would be great and thank you in advance

it's not normal for a 10 month old dog to have pneumonia , the dog should be under a vets care .... not only is pneumonia life threatening , the reason the dog got pneumonia could possibly be as fatal ........ I would think the pneumonia is secondary to something else .......

I agree 100% with Marke. What has your vet said?

 

[jag19725]

He is under a vets care he is on 2 different kinds of meds to help fight it he just won't eat

 

[marke]

what have you tried to feed him?

Boiled chicken and rice hills i/d dog food dog treats Purina One canned food tuna

try mcdonalds , seriously , whatever he'll eat , protein and fat would be great , but calories would suffice in getting his appetite back , a hamburger ....... possibly the meds have upset his stomach , ask the vet for something like sucralfate ...... I believe mcdonalds French fries saved one of my dogs life ..... he bloated , they were able to save him with a surgery , he lost his spleen and it caused him a heart issue , he wouldn't eat , I got him to eat mcdonalds French fries and he built an appetite off that ........

I will give that a try thanks

Scrambled eggs, cheese (sometimes parmesan as a 'topper' makes food smell good enough to eat), a burger - I might cook my own before going to McD's... but whatever works!!

Also, try giving him some broth (home-made or low-sodium chicken or beef broth) to help get some extra liquids in him, too.

Sorry your pup is under the weather. Hope he feels better soon!

Thanks dennasmom I will give that a try too at this point I am willing to try anything

I'm sorry to hear this. My dog had an appetite stimulant from the vet when she was really poorly with an enlarged heart. I can't remember what it was called but it worked.

Go to a specialty pet store where they sell premium dog food and purchase a couple of tripe cans and also a couple of pumpkin cans for dogs. Mix some of the tripe with his regular food and see what happens. Try that first a couple of times, then try the pumpkin.

Years ago when our rottie was ill I got tripe warmed it and put just the juice in with his kibble, small and often and he eat the lot hope he improves real soon

 

[jag19725]

Thanks I am going to give just about everything you all have said and I have a appointment on Monday with the vet to see what the can do

 

[PippatheMastiff]

Even tuna might be enough to start his appetite. Try the easy stuff first. Good luck, sends prayers.

My girl loves salmon, I use the Alaska caught Wild Red Sockeye Salmon. I mash it up with the juice in the can and give her a little bit to urge her along when she's feeling off. Sometimes, I give her the whole can to break up the boredom of her other foods. She's wild about wild salmon. Give it a try, too, just a teaspoon at a time to make his mouth water.
