So last week my husband and i were given a pitbull/terrier mix. She is about 8 to 10 months old. She had previously had another dog around the same age that was the alpha female of the pair.
We did not keep the other dog, and for the first two days her eating and drinking seemed to be about normal.. The night before last in her good behaviour she was rewarded with some scraps, some of it bread, some of it pieces of meat that were cooked. Then yesterday morning she ate some, threw up and hasn't touched the dogfood since. She hasn't been drinking, or if she has it has been minimal, and from what i can tell isn't using the bathroom either. She is more than willing to eat cooked eggs, or chicken and veggies if i make it for her, but won't touch the dogfood at all.
she doesn't seem dehydrated, her nose is wet and cold, she is playing and happily running around and otherwise seems fine.
should i worry yet? Do they just drink less and such when they don't have competition for the food and water?
if there is something wrong what do you suggest??
Thanks
