I have a 2 year old Chihuahua and every couple of months or so he has a day where he just won't eat anything for the whole day and feels very sorry for himself. Usually the next day he will return to eating. Is this normal? I did mention it to my vet when I last took him in for his booster and she quickly dismissed me saying, "My dog does this too". Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Your dog may be moping because of loneliness and may need another pet to cheer it up. My daughter has a chi and she's very sensitive. She added another dog who is very playful and the chi gets a lot of play time with it and seems to be doing great.
I think another dog is a great idea. My dog does the same thing, but I can't get another dog because I have a cat also, and we are only allowed two pets where I live.
