My 2 year old male, Howie, has been having itching/stress symptoms for a few weeks. The vet wants us to try him on an allergy food for the next eight weeks, plus he is taking an antidepressant. We just stared this yesterday.
Howie won't touch the food. He is usually a good eater, and gobbles it right up. However, he hasn't touched his bowl in 24 hours. I tried putting a little of his old food on top and he just picked it off to eat it. It tried warming it up a bit to make it smellier (it's already pretty smelly on its own), but it didn't make a difference.
From what I'm reading, it's not ok to just let him not eat. What can I do? :dk:
