| I quess it could be possible. How much does he eat? Have you tried giving moist to see if he eats more. If not Lil Caesars is a good one to try.

| Does he have diahrea? That seems like so little to be eating. Has he been eating that small of an amount for a long time or just recently. You could try making some chicken and rice for him.

| NoI dont think the vaccination would cause him to lose his appetite. I would try the chicken and rice but you may need to take him to the vet. My vet had a high calorie food he gave Chachi when he was little and not eating. He said it was like pudding to a dog. Anyway was high calorie so they get alot of nutrition from very little of it. It is Hills prescription Food. You should also give him nutrical so his blood sugar doesnt get too low. I am really concerned by how little you say he is eating.

| I think he is just finicky. He just don`t want to eat kibbles. If I give him some other food he eats, but all said to me that if I will giving him other food he will become more finicky. I think the quallity kibbles and some canned food is the best for his health and teeth. |

| You are right that you can make them finicky by doing that, but first you want to be certain that he does eat enough that he doesn't become ill. If he is very tiny, you will want to watch for hypoglycemia. Here people give them a product in a tube called Nutrical that is a high-calorie supplement to ward off hypoglycemia. Other things that can be given are sugar water and Karo syrup. Mine went right back to eating the kibble gradually after her weird teething diet. She now loves the high quality kibbles and never leaves a single one in her platter. Because mine was having such a hard time while teething, I could see she wouldn't eat the kibble because it hurt. Before she started teething she ate them just fine.
