I have no idea where the "eating issue" thread I started is, so here I go again. Maxwell hasn't eaten today....well, the few treats that were hidden and the one dental one I gave him this am. I've gone thru so many different foods and thought I found the one he liked since we've finished one bag of "Royal Cainine" and now on the 2nd bag. What am I going to do~?

I went a week ago to the Vet and am going back tommorrow. I have tried different tactics of feeding him, which has worked at times. I put food down and if he doesn't eat, I take the bowl away. This doesn't work all the time either. I praise him when he eats and give him a treat after he eats. Maybe too much praising isn't good~?

I have some bacon & egg treats (Snauges (sp) brand) and give that to him in the morning sometimes before his breakfast and sometimes afterwards. He didn't touch it yesterday. I use to hid treats in and around his toys and too many too. I thought it would keep him busy, but too many treats then he didn't eat his food. I hardly give him treats like that anymore. What do I do~?

Please everyone, I need help of what do do~? I need ideas or something since this is upsetting to me. Thanks.
