Today, after being worried for a week because my dog wasn't eating, I paid the vet $120 for her to tell me that my dog doesn't like her dog food. FML

Today, I took my dog to the vet because he hadn't eaten his food in three days, was drinking a lot of water, and was peeing a lot (all signs of antifreeze poisoning). I spent $200 at the vet to tell me that my dog is fine and just didn't like his current food. FML
Today, I rushed my dog to the vet because he was foaming at the mouth. I returned home with a bill for $200 and a dog who apparently has a thing for marshmallows. FML
Today, I finally realized why my 9-week-old puppy was going to the bathroom so much. I went to pick up the food bag and realized she had chewed a hole in the bottom, and eaten half of the bag in the last 4 days. Goodbye 30 pounds of dog food, and 100$ for a vet visit. FML
Today, I found out my dog is allergic to all forms of animal. His new vegetarian food is $90 a bag, and he refuses to eat it. FML
Today, I took my dog back to the vet because her face was completely swollen and her stomach was bright red and blotchy. It's obviously the medication she just started, but my vet doesn't believe dogs have allergic reactions. It's the only vet in the area. FML
Today, I splurged thousands of dollars on the breed of dog that I've loved since I was a kid from a reputable breeder. He is allergic to all food except the 24lb food for $70 and has sensitivities galore, including a seizure from a shot. I've spent $5,000 in vet bills in the first week. FML
Today, I took my dog to the vet and she was diagnosed with obesity. The vet then told me that dogs usually imitate their owners eating and behavior habits. FML
Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, as I fed my dog his dinner of chicken offal, a drumstick, a wing, a mackerel, and a raw egg, my dad bitched and moaned that I waste money feeding him meat instead of just buying the cheapest kibble at the store. FML
Today, my dog won’t eat the premium $30 per kilo food I buy him, but he will eat other dog’s shit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened and why OP went to the vet.

#7: Not really. I know FMLs can only be so long, but I got the impression that OP hadn't just switched the dog to a new food that it turns out it didn't like, but instead the dog just stopped eating what it had been eating fine before. We don't really know how it happened in OP's case, but if my dog (who has been on the same food for about 3 years) suddenly stopped eating, I wouldn't automatically think, "She must've just randomly stopped liking this food she's been eating for years."

I can do one better - my male cat was scooting around and making the occasional sound of distress. I freaked and figured he might have a blocked urethra or ureter, and headed down to the emergency vet. $820 later, I got to find out he was just constipated, and happily rectified the situation by taking a wild dump all over the place once they started poking at him. My summer tuition was only $1,000. :/

I work at a vet hospital and that's a pretty common appointment. Haha. Kudos to you though for taking your dog in. It could have actually been something serious. You get a good owner award!

I'm surprised you didn't try adding things to the dog food before taking them to the vet.. I know when we moved it took our dog 2 days to eat her normal dog food so we had to feed her human food since she was pregnant.

that sucks but you can never be too cautious about things that you love.

My dog started getting sick of her dry food, so I started buying a couple cans of wet food and mixing just a spoonful or so in with the dry food. Works wonders. A little chicken broth works as well :)

That sucks.. Been there done that. Try blue buffalo wilderness. My dog likes the salmon one. It's expensive but worth it! Petsmart will let u return any opened dog food with in a few days if ur dog doesn't like it or won't eat it.

That's usually the problem...

At least it was something trivial like that and not something major

Get some common sense which apparently isn't so common before getting another life dependent on you
