I'm not a veterinarian so I can't diagnose your beloved doggie.

Senior pets are prone to health conditions just like we are as we get older. He could be suffering from a health condition that could be treated at the vets.

If he is actively dying...

When all 3 of our past feline companions had stopped eating and were literally hiding, we knew it was time to end their pain and suffering by euthanasia. The vet always confirmed our suspicions and the entire veterinarian staff are most caring during this difficult time.

I'm sending you and your senior doggie best wishes.
