Hello! :)
My dog has lost her appetite and won’t eat her breakfast or drink - which is unlike her as she is a lab.
This morning she has generally been very inactive - When I tried to get her to come outside she was reluctant, and once she was outside, she just sat down, ( also unlike her as she is very active ).
Recently, I caught a nasty flu, which could be why she is acting this way?
Am I overreacting? Or should I take her to the vet?
 
I agree - vet. It could be next to nothing, but it might not be, and early diagnosis/treatment is always best.
 
Let us know how you get on, please:)
 
Great. Didnt mean to be short but I always apply the same rule to dogs as babies... if a baby wont eat drink or is not as responsive as normal the advice is doctor...

We have just taken her to the vet, thankfully nothing serious:) , vet gave us some useful advice about using a more plain diet (rice, cooked chicken, ) as her tummy is a little ill, must’ve eaten something she shouldn’t have! Typical lab! ;)
 
It's good to hear it's no more than a bit of a tummy upset :)
 
It’s always a worry when a Labrador goes off their food!! I know Dennis is feeling very poorly if he won’t eat :-(
