Addiction is a chronic brain disease that induces compulsive activity, despite health, social and legal consequences. A person may seem to make a voluntary choice to try a drug or begin a type of behavior, but a variety of genetic and environmental factors influence those decisions.

If you suspect stress, spend additional time with your pet. Try hand feeding the pet and see how the dog responds. While a dog can live for a day without eating, donât let the situation go on for days without seeing your vet. Dogs not eating food might have a stomach bug that will pass and the dogâs appetite will return. Dogs with a stomach bug tend to act just like humans. There may be vomiting and diarrhea.
