"Dog Starvation Starve Not-Eat Not Eat For 45 Days"

I don't know what nerdy bastard does these studies but some guy starved a bunch of dogs to death. They went THIRTY days without permanent damage. After thirty days many of them lasted 15 MORE days by burning brain, cardiac muscle, intestine, and liver parenchyma.

In the disease 'pancreatitis' I'll often advise NO FOOD FOR DAYS - and people go out of their minds that the dog might not get to eat for up to five days. But the core of treatment for Pancreatitis is NO FOOD BY MOUTH until the pancreas heals.

Or when you STOP mixing water, chicken broth, bone broth (97% fat), green beans, beans, canned food, cat food, water, sweetened condensed milk, bacon puree, powdered skittles, peanut butter, rocky road ice cream, water, vanilla ice cream, Crisco, steak fat, regular Land-o-lakes butter, or water - with the dry food - a 'very obese' dog might not take the dry food served dry - for DAYS. And they'll hope you break down and give them what they want.

And owners go out of their minds when the dog refuses dry food for only a day or two?

So I'm sharing with you a dirty secret from Veterinary Medicine research circa 1945 where some sick bastard starved dogs til they died. To point out that even a WEEK of a spoiled, "I won't eat dry dog food" hunger strike is the Diet Coke of life-threatening. Meaning: It's NOT.
