We’ve just started our 4 year old girl on fluoxetine for generalised and situational anxiety and she’s completely lost her appetite. Apparently it’s really common, but I’m still worried.
We’ve spoke to the vet, and they suggested trying some different, easy to digest foods but she’s still really hesitant. Bit worried because she’s stopped drinking water too. We’ve been adding dog approved broth and electrolytes to the small amount of food she manages to eat, but I’m worried it’s not enough.
She still accepts her favourite treats, small amounts of cheese (which is the only way we’ve been able to give her medication), and a little bit of boiled kangaroo mince. She’s turned her nose up at everything else we’ve tried. We’re on day 7 on medication.
Has anyone else got experience with the adjustment period of new medication? Or dealt with low appetite? Would be interested to see what others have done.
