Have you ever gone a long time without food to the point that you're no longer hungry??
I have...
Maybe that's what she's going through?
I know that there's alot of talk about healthy foods, high quality kibble, high quality canned, but if their not eating at all, unfortunately that won't be an issue any longer. And that's just too sad to ponder!!
If Sadie can't eat human grade food and she has an allergy, isn't there a way the vet can determine what she's allergic too?
I have heard of a lot of people switching to Kangaroo kibble for their high-allergy dogs.
Have you considered that?
Maybe when you get her eating she'll start playing?
Sheba has a pile of toys that's bigger than my teenagers was when she was little!!
And she knows each of them by name!! We can say "
go get hound dog" and she'll run over to the pile and get it.
Another thing that really helps is when I cheer for her! Like this morning when she ate the Canidae, my husband and I stood up and gave her a standing ovation! She was so happy with herself!!!
She reacts very well to clapping and shouting out "YAY!"
Mine won't eat carrots, beans, apples either...nothing like that!!
She'll play with it but that's it! She's strange. She even takes her treats like it's a communion wafer!! I have one dog who'll accidentally bite you if you don't hand her the treat just right and other that you have to place it on her tongue! LOL
