Why is my small dog whining and refusing food after being attacked?

A small dog refusing food after being attacked by another dog may be psychologically frightened; fear or trauma can cause loss of appetite. The owner should comfort and accompany it to help it recover. At the same time, check the dog's body, as the refusal to eat may also be from injury causing pain. If the injury is serious, take it to a vet promptly.
