How is your little one doing today? There was something that I did when Hot Rod was a pup...I would sit with him in his closed pen and I held his bowl sometimes (not spoiled at all, is he? lol) while he would climb all over me and eat in the most contorted poses.
When he stopped eating, I would "play" with him. That's where we played "Gotcha". I would take my finger and just touch him all over and say "gotcha". Well, for whatever reason, he stated playing back with his nose and then he would eat for a few minutes at a time too. I don't know if it stimulated his appetite or if it just distracted him from what I was wanting him to focus on.
I can't tell why it worked, but it did. When we would have his food down, we noticed that he would take a piece and run clear across the room and eat it and he would keep doing this for about 5 minutes. Maybe she just wants to play for awhile or just be with mommy. |
