Hi, I have a 5yr shar pei who is rather stubborn but has not eaten for 3 days but is drinking normal. Have tried giving scrambled egg but had to force it down him. He had blood test 3mths ago and all were normal but he us on medrone tablets due to skin allergies. Any idea what I should do ?

Hello,
Medrone can cause bloating, indigestion, ulceration in the stomach or intestine. Since he is unable to eat anything, you should contact the treating doctor, the dose either needs to be reduced or the medication should be stopped & replaced by some other medication that suits the patient better.
