| There are several threads on here about dog food brands and opinions. I like Canidae for dry and Chicken soup for the puppy lover's soul. You can get it at feed stores. |

| food What brand of food is he eating now? You might try adding a bit of minced chicken to his dry food, mix it well with a spoon or two of water and he will have to eat the dry to get the chicken. Careful changing foods too often and go slowly. Best wishes |

| It's imperative that you find a food that your baby will like since he doesn't want to eat, he could have more hypoglycemic episodes. Our baby was very hypoglycemic also, and we couldn't find anything that he liked to eat, so we started feeding him boiled chicken and rice and then pureed chicken baby food and pureed chicken and rice baby food, along with nutri-stat which helped prevent hypoglycemic episodes. It's alot easier to prevent those than having to watch them have a seizure and trying to nurse them back to health. Anyway, he actually liked that stuff and it helped him through the hypoglycemia. It took a long time before our baby would even try to eat real dog food, even the soft food, but at least he wasn't having anymore episodes since we were feeding the baby food. Once we felt he was healthy enough, we tried switching him to a premium puppy food. |

| Be careful when feeding baby food and make sure it does not contain salt or onion as it is not good for pups. |
