Hi all since last Friday my 3 year old male Akita has been totally disinterested in eating he ate his last full meal last Friday evening since then he has probably not eaten more than 3 meals in total he usually has 2 meals per day and has always had a good appetite he is drinking normally and seems otherwise to be in good shape when I put his bowl down or try to hand feed him he just walks away as if he does not know what to do the vets gave him a pretty thorough going over and did blood tests for thyroid/heart/electrolytes/pro-bnp blood test all normal has anyone come across this kind of thing before? if so it would be great to share if possible as I need to get to the bottom of this many thanks.

Thanks for the prompt replies this problem came on pretty quick his mouth has been inspected by myself and the vet and could find nothing amiss I was playing tug of war yesterday and he was pulling me all over the garden so I think we can discount a problem with his mouth.
