Hey all,

I changed to Orijen puppy about a week ago, and so far it has been great - until 2 days ago. She just completely stopped eating on her own - I have to take her bowl to her and put the kibble on the floor, then she'll eat. Even then it's not to her usual amount. I notice she also hasn't been drinking much, when usually she's almost like a small camel, and eats like a vacuum cleaner. I do moisten her food with water, but it's never bothered her before. Why now?

The only change I could think of, I started bringing my dogs to walk a few blocks in the afternoon (4/5PM). I didn't do that before because she hasn't finished her shots, and fleas & diseases are very common in this part of the world.

I wonder if she's exhausted by the walks? I also noticed when the 1st day, after coming back from the walk she goes straight to her water, but not the last 2 days. In fact, I'm surprised she pees at all, she simply hasn't been drinking much water! It's driving me mad. My shihtzu Lulu seems to thrive on her walks and the Orijen. She used to be really picky but now she'll even eat without prompt.

Help! What could be causing Mocha's change of eating habits???
