Why Dogs Lose Appetite and What to Do
Dogs may refuse food for many reasons - unpalatable meals, physical discomfort, indigestion, illness, internal parasites, or being in heat. Identify the specific cause and respond accordingly. If the problem is food- or stomach-related, adjusting the diet and aiding digestion usually helps; if it is illness, prompt veterinary care is needed.

Whether moderate hepatic ascites recovers with medication depends on the cause. Mild cases improve slowly with drugs plus regular rechecks; treatment includes immunoglobulin, liver-protecting meds, and a balanced high-protein diet.
My dog recently developed small black spots on its body; I considered age spots but it is only four years old. Could it be from feeding fish oil too often? Also, this morning its stool was a bit loose with a little blood
If the skin only has black spots with no other symptoms, it is mainly considered a genetic trait or pigment deposition. For the loose stool with blood, causes include gastroenteritis, parasites, parvovirus, or distemper; see a vet. If a visit is hard, fast it and give broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories.
My dog keeps vomiting and has diarrhea; it seemed better two days ago with formed stool, then suddenly started having diarrhea and vomiting again
Repeated vomiting and diarrhea can come from diet, toxins, parasites, gut dysfunction, or viruses. Check the food first; if normal, see a vet. If care is delayed, the illness worsens. Pet antibiotics may help temporarily.
Both my dogs have blood in formed stool but are energetic – what is wrong?
Blood in stool with normal energy suggests diet, toxins, or infectious disease such as parvovirus. See a vet for targeted treatment.
My puppy had normal stool, then diarrhea and blood after eating calcium cookies – is it indigestion?
Diarrhea with blood suggests digestive disease such as gut injury or gastroenteritis. If energy is fine, try probiotics and broad-spectrum medicine; see a vet if blood persists.

This has lasted over ten days: swollen bridge of nose, no pain reaction when pressed, normal stool/eating, lively—allergy or something?
A swollen red nose bridge can come from bug bites, injury, infection, allergy, or parasites. For a bump from collision, clean with iodine and ice; for allergies, use anti-allergy medicine. If no improvement, see a vet.
How can I tell whether my dog is healthy?
Observe: healthy dogs are lively, alert, curious. Lethargy/sleepiness/unwillingness to move suggests problems. Check eyes (clear, bright), nose (slightly moist, cool, no runny nose), mouth (no bad breath), ears (no strong odor), no abnormal shedding. Check stool: formed, not too dry, no soft stool/diarrhea/blood.
