I would free feed, but I am not sure how much she would eat. When I got her, her belly was swollen and so was her anus. Bless her little heart, she will be the end of me. |
how old is she; maybe she will grow out of it. also did you test her for worms; if she has tapeworm then she will be hungry all the time; free feeding is not a good idea, as dogs that are hungry won't know when to stop and can develop bloating and that's deadly. and don't hand feed her, she will develop bad habit; i know that from my dog; she wouldnt eat unless i gave it to her; and now she wont eat unless i am sitting next to her; believe me you dont want that. best is to place little amount; wait a minute; then put some more; and keep doing that until she learns how to eat slowly; if not then let her be. if she seems healthy and happy and she's fine. she's adorable by the way; good luck
