Question
Austin is 11 and recently he knocked over the garbage and ate about 4 bones he had diarhea and now he's not eating or he's eating very little. He drinks he plays he's not in pain I'm just worried that he's not eating like he was please help. He's also blind and has tumors around his body and our groomer said just let him be if he's not in pain.

Answer
Your groomer is not a vet.  Please, please take him to a vet right away.  He could be bleeding internally.  Or have internal blockage.  Eating cooked bones can pierce intestines.

At this age to stop eating means you need medical attention.  So stop asking someone to tell you it'll all be fine and get Austin to a Doctor.

Health, nutrition, training. Please note: I used to highly recommend Innova products but, unfortunately, as with Canidae, they have sold out to Proctor & Gamble. This guarantees lower quality to a dangerous point so I will no longer be advising anyone to buy it.
