| Yorkie stops eating when I'm not around I think my yorkie is on a hunger strike when i'm at work for 8 hours. i've noticed that he hasn't been eating his food when i'm not around. as soon as i come home from work, he'll start eating. that's the only time he eats. why doesn't he eat when i'm not around? could he be sad and depressed?

| My Dezi won't even eat if I'm not in the same room with him! He is so spoiled. At breakfast he eats really well, as long as I stay in the kitchen with him. But at supper he will only eat if I pick the pieces out of his dish one or two at a time & set them on the floor. And he just stands there & stares at my hands, waiting for me to do this, the bowl is right there on the floor but he won't take the food out, sometimes he barks at me until I do it for him. And going potty....sometimes he does it on his own, most of the time he just stands beside the doggy litter box (with pee pads in) & stares at me until I say "wanna go pee" & pick him up & put him in. He is SPOILED! My dh says to stop doing these things for him, but he has to eat his supper before bed, I just do what he wants so he will eat! |

| well I just read the post Do You Have a Picker Eater and it sounds like I am feeding him too much. No wonder he doesn't want to eat. Maybe at supper I am sort of forcing him to eat? |

| Yorkie stops eating My dog does the same thing when we go away. Won't even drink. I think they know if they eat or drink and have to go potty, they won't be able to go outside when we are gone. Just my theory.

| Sugar wouldn't eat when I wasn't around, she would wait until I get back to her then she would eat really fast (worried I might go away again). So I have to feed her once before I go to work (sit with her) and when I come back from work, another meal...anyway my mum would give her snacks in the afternoon, so I guess it would be fine. Is there anyone at home who can do the favor?
