Weird behavior

Question
My year old male pit bull has stopped eating in the last couple of days.  He is not eating or drinking much of anything. We thought it was because my boy friend and I left for college again, but I came back and he is still not eating or drinking.  He will only eat or drink anything if I put it in my hands and only when I do it. He ate some food and milk, but then he puked it all back up and his eyes are very dialated.

Answer
Your dog is sick. This is not a behavioral problem. He is ill. I don't know what he has, but it could be anything from parvo to distemper. I don't know his vaccination history, or anything about what he eats or if he is outside or inside. I am guessing that someone else is watching him while you are gone?

You need to get him into a vets right away. Milk is very bad for dogs. They are lactose intolerant and milk will only give them diarrhea.
Having dilated pupils is a sign of some kind of toxic ingestion or a serious problem going on inside of him.

Please call the vet and get him in right away.
Let me know what you find out. I hope he will be okay.
