Just so everyone knows, Miko is still drinking water out of a little pudding dish, now.....

he is also scared of his food dish. He will take some food off and then back away from his dish, if he happens to hit the dish with his paw, he spins his wheels trying to get away from it as fast as he can. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to put his food on the floor, he eats raw. I have tried small little dishes, but if they make the slightest move, he won't have it. I've tried heavier dishes and he still behaves the same way. I've even tried holding the dish while he eats and it still is a sight to see. Today I sat on the floor next to his dish, while he circled it from every angle trying to "figure out" how he could get to the food.

I am so at a loss with him...any suggestions????
