 Snickers Diet:
Hi Viv:
Perhaps the poor little one is feeling bad from the pain, and even senses your concern over the surgery. (A la Cesar's Psychology effects???)
As it is only days now before surgery and he needs to get nutrition aboard to take him thro' the surgery etc, it would not hurt to feed him whatever his little heart desires even if it is not the 'best' food. Does he still go for treats? Natural Balance makes some little biscuit treats that I believe are turkey, oats and cranberry etc, and when I had my dog who wouldn't eat anything else, she gobbled up these. They are pretty good quality ingredients and might get little Snickers eating again. Also I think Nat. Bal. makes a soft roll (turkey based) food that most dogs tolerate well and love.
I know you are very stressed now with the impending surgery and now the eating problem, and I feel for you and wish you every good luck and success with finding something that Snick will eat from now on.
Hope he continues to eat the Primal and that 'the problem' of food has gone away.
What we go through with these tiny little furbabies!
Hugs and prayers.
From one who has been there! |
