 Teething and not eating
JoJo is 4 1/2 months old now and he's been teething. So far his 4 lower teeth have fallen out. He doesn't seem to have a problem with his chew toys, however, he isn't eating and I'm worried sick. I normally feed him Blue Buffalo dry food for puppies. At first I was softening it by putting some water in it, but he won't touch it. Then I bought some Blue canned food and mixed in a bit with his kibble, and he still won't eat. He did however eat the wet food off a spoon while I held him to try to get him to eat. But other than that, no matter what I put in his food bowl he won't eat it. He's still full of energy and even right now playing with his toys like a tazmanian devil! But I'm so worried about him and his nutrition. Is this normal during the teething phase? And if so, what can I do to ensure that he gets nourished and also to get him to eat his kibble again? I don't want him to get spoiled with the wet food. |
