My dog hasn't eaten anything for 2-3 days. (lemmy.world)

My dog hasn't eaten anything for days and I've tried everything. He stopped eating his chicken and soft food, he won't eat any vegetables that I try to give him, he'll barely lick peanut butter, and refuses to have treats. I'm literally trying to feed him bacon at this point, but I don't think it's gonna do anything. He's 15 and my dad is saying he's probably dying. This has all progress over a week.

Is there a reason you're asking the internet instead of the vet?

Cause the vet said the same thing as my dad, it probably getting close to time, but he said that before he stopped eating.

Then you need to talk to a second vet. They're right, he's an old dog and probably toast, but at the very least you should help him be comfortable, whether that's putting him down or just painkillers.
