I can relate! For a little while, Archie was not eating, then last week, he was gulping down his food, and now...nothing. I have major food issues when it comes to Archie. I had tried everything. I got him steel bowls, but he was scared of those. Then, my mom bought him a ceramic one and he was scared at first, but now loves it! I just keep leaving the food there for him. The vet said that "little guys" are like that...they might eat a lot and then not a lot so not to take his bowl away if he doesn't eat in 15 minutes. But what I did notice is that on days that Archie has a lot of activity, he tends to go nuts and then eat out of his food bowl. For example, he likes to eat while he plays with his ball. So maybe there's some sort of association, like throw ball, catch ball, bring it to food bowl, eat. A friend was telling me that his dog eats half his food, and hides the other half out of instinct. I think that's why at times Archie eats half and leaves the other half for later on. Just continue feeding Toby and he will eat...dogs generally don't starve themselves like cats might. I made the mistake of changing his food a lot and that makes him wait it out until he gets something better. But dogs only have like 1/9 the taste that people do so they're not as discriminating. |
