What's wrong with my dog?

Recently my dog has been acting weird. Monday she was lethargic and didn't have much of an appetite. Tuesday and Wednesday she wasn't quite herself but she had a fairly normal appetite. Today she was okay all morning and most of the afternoon. But tonight she is lethargic and has a loss of appetite once again. She also shivers every once in a while. Through this whole time she has been drinking and has not been vomiting nor had diarrhea. It kinda seems as though she has something like a cold. She's never been sick. She's not too old, but she's over weight.

    There are several reasons that your dog might stop eating as much as he/she usually does or might stop eating altogether. Below are some of the most common reasons given by various veterinarians:

    1.Your dog might be having problems with their teeth that make chewing very problematic;

    2.Your dog might have an infection that makes the smell or taste of food very unappealing;

    3.Your dog might have an upset stomach caused by something that was eaten;

    4.Your dog might be constipated;

    5.Your dog might be suffering from a case of depression;

    6.Your dog might not like the fact that you have recently moved;

    f your dog is suffering from a sudden bout of appetite loss, rest assured that there are steps you can take to help your furry friend overcome this ailment.

    Give them fresh food each day in their bowl even if they haven’t finished yesterday’s leftovers;

    Find out if anyone has been giving your dog tasty treats which could be spoiling his/her appetite;

    You may want to try a different food. Remember that even dogs like variety in their diet; and finally

    You may need to add in different toppings to entice the dog to eat their plain dry dog food.

    If none of the above remedies work then you should consult your vet to see what exactly might be causing the problem.
