Thanks for your help
Yup It can definitely make her more picky. I haven't really had the picky problems, but I never really let them be picky either.

Since she isn't super tiny, your hypo risks are a bit less than, especially now being almost five months.

I can't remember which food you said you were feeding, but like I said before, I would pick one you really like (I like Innova puppy and very much like Wellness Puppy) and just keep it down for her. I don't know how long she went without eating before you switched but if you switch everytime she slows down, you will be creating a moster

If the poor eating keeps up, you may want to get a bile acid test done on her, to rule out any liver shunt..
