Why is your healthy dog keeping your sick dog from eating?

Answer 1

There is more then one possible answer for this:

1. (The most common): Your ill dog just does not have an appetite. It might not have anything to do with your healthy dog.

2. If your healthy dog is mourning over your ill dog because, well, he is ill, your ill dog may be feeling bad. Dogs do have feelings.

3. If your healthy dog does not feel bad at all for the healthy dog, the ill dog may seem depressed, because his friend doesn't care.

4. He may be in depression mode. Dogs can do that too. He may be sad about being ill. I mean, he's a dog, he doesn't exactly "know" what an "illness" is, cuz, well, he is a dog! So he may as well be in depression and shock mode to the point where he cannot eat! This one also may as well not have anything to do with your healthy dog.

Please take your ill dog to the vet, and possibly try and feed him/her in a separate room.
