What are kaimanawa horses?
Kaimanawa horses are a breed of feral horses in New Zealand that roam the Kaimanawa Ranges. They are descendants of domesticated horses that were released into the wild around a century ago. Known for their hardiness and adaptability to the rugged environment, they have become a symbol of the country's heritage and conservation efforts.
What is wrong when your dog doesn't eat her food?
Your dog could be suffering from any of a dozen ailments so it is best to get the opinion of a good vet. BUT, I have a 14 year old Chihuahua who has had a similar problem since he was a puppy. He will miss two meals (I feed morning and evening), his stomach will make loud gurgling, squeaking noises that can literally be heard across the room, and he will refuse anything to eat - even when tempted with steak, chicken, treats, etc. He actually acts as if the sight or smell of the food is unpleasant. He's a little lethargic too, but always musters enough energy to bark at the mailman and strangers. After approx. 24 hrs., he will usually vomit just a bit (but not always), and he has a bit of diarrhea, although it's a bit tar-like. After the 24 hrs., he springs back and is ready to eat again and feeling fine. These episodes seem to happen every few weeks or so and I have never been able to relate them to anything he has done or eaten differently. Over the years (14 of them), I have had him to 4 different vets who have run just about every test in the book. He was on an ulcer medication for a while, but these events still continued to plague him. One vet said they could do endoscopy and take a look around, but he would have to be anesthetized for the procedure. If it were his dog, he would rather have him suffer through these episodes than put him under anesthesia (which has risks), for a procedure which may not show anything anyway. And, because these episodes are so fleeting (24 hrs.) there isn't enough time for the procedure. I've read several other posts over the years of dogs with the exact same problem as my dog - to the letter! But no one has ever offered a firm diagnosis and treatment. You should still get your dog to a vet to ensure that what he has is nothing more serious. Good luck!
