hey there guys! Im having some trouble getting keely to eat.
She isnt sick.
She is just STUBBORN!
We switched her to welnness about a month ago now,
At first we were mixing in about A teaspoon full of wet food
with a 1/4 of a cup of dry in the morning and again supper time.
But she would lick the wet stuff off the dry and just eat that and that amount of food was obviously not enough for her. And we cannot afford to just feed her the wet stuff. So we swicthed to just dry. And she would eat about 3/4 of a cup a day at first. But recently she wont eat it. My mom started making a game of it and throw it across the floor one peice at a time and she woukld eat it all. But im not spending the rest of her life doing that. And in the past few days she is only eating about 1/4 cup or less. What can i do to get her to eat from her bowl? Is there ANYTHING i can do?

ARGh. people keep telling me that Yorkies are picky eaters but i never thought they were this darn bad!!!!!

BTW- Another food change is out of the question. She does like the food.
