Your post concerned me because you stated that Elmo has recently recovered from an undiagonosed illness. As a rule, finicky eating is when a dog will only eat certain things. It is sometimes manifested in a dog who refuses to eat the complete and balanced dog food you offer or doesn't eat enough. Finicky eaters usually do so out of preference, but you should keep in mind that dogs might also refuse to eat because of a medical condition. I would keep a very close watch on him ....maybe try to mix a LITTLE of shredded chicken into his kibble. Kibble really is the best for him it is balanced in the nutritional needs of a dog.....Keep us all posted on his progress.
