Rocky has stopped eating (update: he ate!!!)

I'm so sorry to hear it may be Rockys time. My thoughts and prayers will be with Rocky and all who love him.

ARGH, the pains of them getting old with the threat of things like this always hanging over your head. I feel for you. I had it with Mist and now have it with Jess. She's ok at the moment but, as you know, they can take a bad turn at anytime.

I hope, if it is Rocky's time, that he goes peacefully and without pain. Maybe it isn't yet though, he might just be going through a rough patch......

Oh no, I will keep Rocky in my thoughts. He looks so young in that picture you took on sunday, such a handsome dog. I hope that when he does pass to the RB it will be peaceful, and painless. Sending good vibes Rockys way.

Prayers for Rocky, you, your mom and Reinhold.

I am so sorry about Rocky, he is such a sweet handsome boy.

[Alysser]

Oh not Rocky. I am so sorry about your handsome boy. He was doing so well, and I really enjoyed all the pics you showed of him. I'll be praying for the sweet boy. Please keep us updated!

Prayers and {{hugs}} for Rocky.

I pray that if he is ready to pass to the bridge, his journey is peaceful.

Thinking of Rocky and all his loved ones...

Thank you very much for keeping the big guy in your thoughts and prayers.

I just spoke to my mom, and she said that Rocky ate this morning. The last two days he looked as if he was ready to leave (he even turned his head away in disgust when he was offered a treat!), but today, he's doing much better.

Looks like he's trying to do his best to stay with us a little longer. I'll keep you updated!

Ah, it's common for elderly dogs to go through patches of not wanting to eat. Sometimes, it is just a case of feeling a little off colour but not anything life threatening. It's hard not to worry though and think the worst when they are old.

In the UK, we have metatone tonic for people to perk you up and get back your appetite when run down or after illness and I find this also works well for dogs and other animals as a pick me up. My sister uses it on her cavies. It is just a blend of vitamins and minerals so nothing that will harm him. Worth seeing if they sell anything like that in Germany.

Hopefully, he was just feeling a little run down.

Wonderful to hear :-D
