Haven't you ever seen a mom on one of those talk shows who say their children will only eat McDonald's Mcnuggets? You don't want to become one of them, do you?

I too think she could be playing with your head..she probably is that smart and wants to get the best out of her food since she knows if she doesn't eat, she gets food rotated. Pao doesn't like the supplement and vitamins in his food either but he gets it every meal now and he KNOWS he doesn't have a choice. Eat the chicken and the rest of homecooking with the supplement or don't eat at all. Some dogs also might like vege/fruits more than meat and my sister's Maltese is like that. She loves fruits and vege every type of it and when it comes to meat, its a so so. Maybe incorporate whatever fruits and vege she likes into her food and stick to it? Monitor her when she doesn't eat and if she seems fine, just let her be. Just offer her the same food that you want to stick to frequently and see how she does.

I don't know what else to say and extreme pickyness can be very frustrating. I am just glad it is over for mine for now.
