Well I'm having my first serious problem with Frosti I think at least. My dog isn't eating well and well he isn't excited over treats ( not even Chicken and he LOVES ( or loved ? ) chicken ).

I haven't taken him to the wet yet because he eat's a little, and he does eat a little more when we have the food in very small sizes ( eat ate the kibble of my uncle's dog ( english cocker spaniel, very small kibble ) ).

He is now in his 20th week ( age wise that is ), and he has gotten most of his teeth, and I can see that his two front teeth ( vígtennur in Icelandic ( fang, caninie tooth in English according to the dictonary ? ) ) coming trough the skin infront of tis "fang" milk teeths it is rather swollen and white. Could this be the reason he has lost is appetite ?

He will eat a little kibble if I soak it in a little yougurt like milk product ( Icelandic called AB-Mjolk, it is supposed to be good for you stomach ), he has also really lost his massive energy which he had and now sleeps really around the day ( there is nearly always someone home, but when I go to school he seems to go into my room under my desk ( where I have a blanket for him ) and go to sleep for most of the day ( he also sleeps all night ).

I don't know, should I call the vet?, should I take him to the vet ? Or is this just a bad case of teething problem ?

I'm sorry you're having a problem with Frosti. Very cute name, by the way.

At first I thought maybe he just has a sore mouth from teething in which case wetting his food would help.

Then you mentioned the sleeping. Typically that is unusual for Golden Pups. I think you should take him to the vet's and have him checked over.

Has he had his shots? Has he had one recently? Make sure you take a stool sample with you so the vet can check for parasites.

I think it could be the teething. Soften the food to see if it helps. Also you might want to check with the vet to make sure he is ok.

Thanks for the advice, I had tried to wet the kibble and he didn't seem to want it ( unless I wet it with milk ) and in very small quantity. But tonight he was ready for this, that is to eat about half of the wet ( warm ) kibble. So he is taking up some appetite. If he dosen't regain full appetite after the weekend I will take him to the wet ( I called the vet today )
