sheepie not eating

Our 6 1/2 yr old sheep has stopped eating! He has surgery in March to remove benign cysts on his gum and hind leg and has not been himself since! He has slowly stopped eating although he is still drinking. HELP? The vet has taken 3 blood samples over the last few weeks ... next step is an ultrasound. Any ideas?

His gums have healed ok? Have you tried different foods? Baby food is good. I keep just plain chicken baby food on hand. Is he outside? If outside maybe to hot? It is 104 here today. Even hot inside with a/c on. Did your vet do xrays by any chance to see if blockage in stomach or anything? Mine ate the bag of hair I had clipped off when I wasn't looking, xrays then surgery. She made it for another 4 years.
Good luck with your baby. I also have a tube of high calorie supplement from vet for sick ones on hand also that I got from vet.
Finally got the answer ... Mr. Dog has a large mass in his chest :O( ... we are heartbroken
I am so sorry to hear this.
Oh, I'm so sorry! :ghug:



They don't complain, just slow down when a problem arises.
I am so sorry, sheepies are very stoical dogs x
So very sorry.
