| It could be his anal glands bothering him. If you have a good groomer, they can check & express them for little money. He should see a vet though as soon as possible if you try that & it doesn't work as it could be just about anything. Is he eating & drinking as usual ? |

| Anals can cause them to be a bit off their food but I would be getting him to a vet ASAP as even if it's anals they could be infected or impacted & could rupture. You could apply for Care Credit at a vets office if needed. Last edited by lillymae; 05-22-2016 at 08:08 PM. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I know you're strapped but honestly, something is indeed wrong here if he isn't really eating or drinking. When a dog has inappetance, you really do need to get them to the vet asap. Please do the right thing and get this helpless little guy to the vet...even if you have to borrow money or put it on a credit card - he needs to be seen and it would be very wrong to not do right by him.

At 6 years old, I'd highly suggest putting him on Glucosamine Chondroitin supplements. Just as it's beneficial for eldery humans, this supplement will ease joint pains of dogs and help to lubricate his joints so he can enjoy many more years to come joint-pain free! It's really great preventative measure! You can read up on this supplement here (you can buy the same dog supplements at pet stores): Glucosamine and Chondroitin-Topic Overview
