It's understandable to be concerned when your Pomeranian shows a loss of appetite, especially since this has been happening for two weeks. There are a few possibilities we can explore together. Changes in appetite can sometimes be linked to stress, environmental changes, or even boredom with their current food. Since there haven't been any recent lifestyle changes or new medications, let's focus on some things you can try at home.

First, think about whether there have been any subtle changes in her environment that might be affecting her, such as new noises or alterations in her routine. If her food hasn't changed, you might want to try offering a different flavor or brand to see if that piques her interest. Warming her food slightly can also enhance the aroma, making it more appealing to her.

Make sure her feeding area is calm and free from distractions, as dogs can be sensitive to their surroundings when eating. Additionally, it would be a good idea to check her mouth for any signs of dental issues, as pain can sometimes deter them from eating.

If she continues to refuse food, especially if you notice other symptoms like lethargy or weight loss, it would be wise to monitor her closely and consider consulting a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
