It is a chore to get him to eat. With him being so small (2lbs 4oz), it's so important to get him to eat. We keep up with the nutri-cal so he never gets hypoglycemic (we had that problem when we first brought him home). I love him to death, but he worries me so much when he doesn't eat. Well I finally decided to try the home cook diet thinking he would like it more. It would be good for him and Bruiser too to have a home cooked diet. I bought Dr. Pitcarin's book for help and another doggy cookbook. We got home today and I started cooking up a storm. They had boiled chicken, white rice, and steamed green beans. Bruiser was in heaven and ate his up quicker than I have ever seen him eat. It was so cute! Marcus, however, did not eat one bite of it. I pulled out some of the chicken and tried to hand feed it (we have to hand feed everything to get him to eat anything), but he wouldn't touch it. He wouldn't eat any part of it. Do you all have any suggestions of things I could do to get him excited about eating home cooked food. I'm just confused because I've never seen a furbaby that doesn't want to eat people food. Thanks in advance for all of the help!

Wow, that is a problem. Have you discussed it with your vet? I hope someone come along with some advice.
