I thought I was reading a post that I had written. Word for word you were telling the story of what goes on between Lexi and myself when it comes to food.
I bought the Natural Balance meat rolls. They were great for 2 days and now she mostly turns her nose up at them. This has now become a battle of the wills. I have been spending a fortune on different dog foods and finally wrote for advise on this forum. As usual, I got some great advice and insite. My daughter was always told 'this is not a restaurant and you will eat what is given to you'. Guess what, she did. I am now beginning to apply this same rule to Lexi. I also have other family members that keep feeding her people food even though I beg them not to. They think that by giving her only little tastes it isn't the same as giving her a plate full of food.
Hang in there. I've never once read a story of a healthy animal that starved themselves when food was available. Keep fresh food available along with water and hard foods. Lexi never ate the hard food until recently. Now she's eating it more often. I'm sure that it's to take the edge off the hunger. |
