I have a 2 year old male Golden Ret. In April of this past year I got him a male Golden pup as a play mate. Since this time he has gone from 70 lbs to 58 lbs.
He seemed to tolerate the pup but was more attached to me and would rather just "cuddle" with me. I was hoping in time he would adapt.
Last week he had many tests, stool, blood, urine. Everytime came out negative. For some time we thought it was a food allergy so he ate perscription food. It was no help, he continued to loose weight.
The vet believes it is a depression issue and has put him on anti depression medication. It's been 2 days now and their is minimal change.
He refuses to eat so I am force feeding him. I have tried many commercial and homemade foods - no change.
He vet also thinks he should only be in a one dog house hold ...
Any suggestions?
