I have a 4 1/2 year old golden retriever named Hooch who started feeling unwell on Tuesday. He hasn't eaten since Tuesday night, but is drinking water. He stands for long periods before laying down and doesn't seem to be in pain. The vet has done blood work, X-rays, and a barium study but found nothing wrong. What could be causing his lack of appetite and what should I do to help him?
