| Have you spoken to your vet? And I'm not sure about the de-worming.......I don't give mine de-wormers. Maybe some one with more knowledge can help with that one. BTW, your Angel looks so much like my Tia.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | She is beautiful. Have you tried mixing a little wet food in with her kibble. She looks very healthy and her coat looks beautiful.

| Have you had her bile acid checked? With the vaccines making her not act well, and the wormer, she my have some liver issues. The test doesn't cost much, and could save her life in the long run. If nothing is wrong, it may just be a food issue. |

| She is really beautiful and has an incredible top line. How much does she weigh? If you are not going to breed or show her I think it is a good idea to have her spayed. Eventually most dogs need anesthesia at some point - she might need dental work in the future for example. My girls really like the Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Fish, but they go thru times where they get bored with the food. I usually try mixing a little canned NB into the kibble and that usually helps. Maybe you can give her a little Nutri-Cal once a day to help her get her appetite back. Good luck, she's really beautiful.

no matter breeding or spaying seems incredible risky for her i have no idea what is the right thing to do my girl already have some tattar build up on her teeth n she has one baby teeth tat not fallen i start to brush her teeth everyday to prevent it to get worse. i might switch her kibble back to the NB since she already hate the Orijen so no point on feeding her that food coz i think the protein is way too high for her she start drinking n peeing a lot on that food i think i will try your method that mix some NB cane food to make it more delicious for her. but can i do it that way in long run? coz i believe once i do that, she will not eat the plain kibble in the future anymore and what actually is the Nutri-Cal n how it work?

I would try to feed her the Natural Balance but only put a little bit of canned food in. The kibble is best for her teeth- she could also have trouble eating because of her retained puppy tooth- they cause them lots of stress and pain. I would have your vet look at it and make sure thats not why she isnt eating. Nutra Cal is a supplement used to prevent low blood sugar. We use it with Ryder when we travel since he gets sick and we limit his food- to make sure he gets his calories and doesnt crash. Good luck and hope that you can figure out what is wrong with your poor girl- she is a beauty!

I only mix about 1 tsp of the canned NB in with the kibble - just enough to entice them a little bit. They love it! Nutri-Cal is for low blood sugar, that's true; however, it also helps to stimulate the appetite. Once her appetite comes back you can discontinue the Nutri-Cal. I wouldn't give her more than 1/2 tsp once a day. When my Kalina had her puppies she lost her appetite afterward and I tried the Nutri-Cal. It really helped and I have since stopped using it. She is now eating like crazy. Good luck.
