Doctors and dogs

After trying to get Ben to the doctor for about four weeks now,he refused to go yesterday and i spoke to the doctor on the phone,i have been worried about his eating, he doesn't eat very much at all and with the Autism he is very picky already, he was having a lot of dental work done, (three teeth out and four fillings), and i just thought that was the reason why he didn't eat much, but his teeth have all been fixed now, and there is no improvement..so the Doctor has said he needs to see a Specialist, and is going to give him a physical examination next week too...
I want to write more but the dog is barking and it has gone from my mind!.(Nipper is a very old Yorkshire terrier who is blind in both eyes has front legs which are affected by a neurological condition, so he walk on his joints at the top of his leg because he has no muscles strength in the bottom part..his left back leg come out of joint so he only has one good leg, and is still up for a fight with any of the others!! the care i have to take of him is hard sometimes because the only way i can tell he needs something is when he barks so we have to go through the routine of food ,water, wee time, and even when i have tried all these he will just bark anyway!... he isn't in pain though because i give him painkillers every day from the vet!!
