Q&A: what are common illnesses that would cause my dog to stop eating?

Question by alicia m: what are common illnesses that would cause my dog to stop eating?
He is slower than usual today, and eating less. His stomach looks kind of big and bloated compared to usual. I feel funny taking him to the vet if he just has gas or is constipated, but not sure what to do.
Any suggestions?

Best answer:

Answer by Shiny
Maybe he has some kind of worms?

I know my kittens stomach got bloated when she had worms. But she never stops eating so I didn't notice until she barfed them.

Anyway, when my dog stopped eating I took him to the vet and he was running a low grade fever due to Kennel cough (we had just got him)

I suggest taking him to the vet as soon as possible because when animals stop eating and drinking there is usually something very wrong and they don't feel good.
