Answer
Usually when a Lab won't eat, it is a serious problem.  I am fighting this witha 14 year old with cancer in her jaw.  Have you tried chees, peanut butter, canned dog chow, canned cat food?  There are times you have to forget a balanced diet and get some calories into the dog.  The stronger smelling stuff, the more likely he will eat some.
