Ok guys, something has to give.... Garin is still about 10-15 lbs underweight (looks like he hasn't eaten in months) But he will go two or three days eating really good, and then not eat for 4-5 days. I can literally hear his belly growling from across the living room. Any suggestions? He is current on vac's and worming, and I haven't changed foods. He won't even eat lunch meat or wet dog food.... I'm gettin worried about him.

Guys, he's been to the vet. Only thing wrong with him is the little pieces of bullet shrapnel floating around in his skull (literally)...

I bet he has something floating around in his belly, its no biggie, til it blocks something, then no eating, take him to the vet and get him xrayed,  if its plastic, may not see it, is he tender in his abdomen?
