    This could potentially be serious. Do you have a regular vet? I'd give him a call.

    Your dog is ill and should see a vet asap. He is probably running a temperature due to an infection. You know when your dog is not its self that is the best indication there is a problem.. If he is not drinking water either, don't let him dehydrate. This is more serious than not eating. Poor baby I hope he's ok

    My German Shepherd has gone 4 days without eating after taking one sniff of the food in the bowl. He can smell chemicals and totally refuses to eat it. I trust his judgment each time and change his food.

    Try changing to a better dog food. Mix a little canned with the dry.

    If he still doesn't eat he may need to see the Vet.

    2.5 days is long enough i'd take him to the vet they will run test check his heart rate temperature feel all around the dog and do blood work this is not normal for a healthy young dog not to want to play or eat and he's trying to let you know the best way he can something isn't right inside of him.

    Well if he's an older dog it may mean it's his time to go to

    But I would check with a vet If I were you.

    Your dog is definitely ill!

    You need to make a trip to the vet.
