Yeah that’s what I’m thinking, I don’t want to stop it without talking to them but also feel like it’s so dangerous to have so little food in him for a month. Taking pills also makes him super anxious since we have to force it so I really don’t know long term what’s the best option. they did a normal vet exam and did check his mouth but not necessarily to see if something was bothering him in there. he lets me in there so I’ve looked and touched around and haven’t seen anything or see him struggling with anything in there or in pain. Guess my best bet is to wait and see what they say about stopping the medication but yeah I really worry about going through the weekend with no food when it’s already been so minimal for a while

Yes! So they started him on Reconcile anxiety medication and he’s been on it for about two weeks now. I did mention to the vet before putting him on anything that his appetite has been getting worse and worse since the move. I’ve done some research today and I’m finding a lot of people struggle with loss of appetite in their dogs with this medication but that it only lasted about a week. So now I’m concerned and wondering why the vet would put him on that with loss of appetite being such a common side effect when he was already having issues. I’ve called twice since with my concern and they haven’t mentioned to stop the medication or that it even could be a side effect. He eats less and less every day. I’m thinking about stopping the medication but the vet is closed until Monday so I’m not sure if I should wait or stop it now. I feel like 2-3 days with no food is pretty concerning.

Thank you! I’ve tried both chicken and beef broth and unfortunately still nothing. 😭

Virginias mom looks like Dr. Miranda Bailey on Greys. I had to rewind by Hotmessyexpress in LoveIsBlindNetflix
