Poorly dog

keeneraboy · 2015-01-21 16:53:51

I have an elderly (about 12 years old I think...she is a rescue dog) Springer Spaniel. For the last few days she has been off her food completely. No other symptoms at all, but this is out of character for her. Has anyone any experience of this, or any advice to offer?

The best thing is to bring to a vet as they can go rapidly downhill at that age. It would be the best thing as the vet can do tests and rule out certain conditions/health problems and prescribe the proper treatment for whatever is wrong.
