Hi everyone!
I really need your advice. Lulu is 1.5 years old and has always been a picky eater. In fact, in order to get her to eat her Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover's Soul, I have had to hand feed her. I leave a small amount of food out for her all day but she doesn't touch it. I have played games like tossing her kibbles to her and that worked for a while and then stopped. If I try to mix her kibbles with something like Gerber Chicken Sticks or a little bit of scrambled eggs or chicken, she will eat all the food around the kibbles and spit out the kibbles.

Needless to say, this is a chore. First of all I would like to get her to eat something regularly and enough of it so I don't have to worry about her getting hypoglycemia. Second, I would like to get her to eventually eat on her own out of her bowl without hand feeding.

I would GREATLY appreciate any suggestions!!

Thanks,
Colleen
