I simply wipe a small bit of canned food onto the roof of his mouth so that he has to eat it. He does have the ability to eat both canned and dry food. He will occasionally eat very small bites independently (like once a week). I have taken him to the vet, they tell me to just keep trying. I thought he was just been spoiled and I decided he would eat when he was hungry, he didn't. He had a hypoglycemic induced seizure. The breeder told me if he doesn't eat every 4 hours to force him. I have been doing this for almost 3 weeks. Any ideas? |
That happened to us, twice!! At first it was due to the reaction of shots! And she just would not eat, and then it had something to do with the tastebuds and her reaction. Go figure. And then, I complicated it by trying all of these different dog foods. Then we get caught up in the middle of the big recall, and here we go again.
Then the next time to add to the confusion of something I would never think of when she stopped eating and I took her in to the vet again. She was teething and imagine her pain and I did not know, so I'm trying all this food again thinking I might have slipped her some food from the recall that might not have been on the list! It took a while to figure out what was going on and to get her back on schedule, get her taste buds and system under control. But its usually stuff we least think about! Hope its a little insight!
