Corgi Not Eating or Drinking

Since the vets shots and such Jazmin is not being as...well Corgi as she was.

She is now crated when I'm not home and this limits the mess in the kitchen, she has a full Lick-it at all times and a food bowl that is attached to the cage side which is full. The issue is that she hasn't been eating or drinking.

I weighed her at the doctors office and she came in at 27.3 lbs., today weighed her at petsmart and she was down to 25.7.

She sleeps a whole lot more then before, usually found more sleeping then up and bouncing around but that could just be a Corgi thing.

So I'm at odds on this one, I'm not too fully sure if I should play the waiting game and see if she catches on, or actually worrie about the issue and start to seek Vet consoul at this moment. She is still happyily bounding around when she is awake.

Anyways this is my great mystery so far, please let me know if there is anything I can do at this time to maybe ease the issue.

Thank You,

Donald Centner

If she is not eating or drinking at all this is a problem. Call your vet asap, especially if this happened RIGHT after the vaccines. They will usually tell you what to do or tell you if you need to bring her in so they can take a peek at her. Take her temp. If it is 103 or above take her to the vet. A huge weight loss and lethargy are concerning. But, it is possible the scales are different. It may be worth taking her in to your vet just to get a weight on her on the same scale she was originally weighed on.

Ok, so I see the game my Corgi and I are going to play which is who can out wait the other. I came in this morning to find the lickit empty and her food gone ( yes, i did check her bed to see if she was hiding it to spite me). It would seem we've the battle of the wits going on.

Is she smarter then a 5'th grader, at times I'd have to say yes, which is why I don't under estimate her even on her worse days.

Anyways, life in the house seems to be running at some sort of weird happy medium at this moment, will keep you up to date on or should anything change.
