I agree that your little one could have some other issues that might need to be checked.
In the meantime, try using something other than the bowl. Lucy sometimes will eat off a paper plate the very thing she refuses to eat out of her bowl.
When she was a puppy, we would make a game of it . . by me throwing her kibbles on the floor one by one. She would chase one and eat it down and wait for the next.
One last sure fire way I have to get her to eat is to put it in my Westie's bowl. He has to be outside when I do this . . but food she refused to eat in her own bowl; she will eat out of my other dog's bowl.
I have also ground up her kibbles in a coffee grinder and mixed that with some canned food. That worked for a while too.
She also loves a little bit of yogurt on her food or a few cooked carrots - smashed up and mixed in really well.
Some days are better than others as far as her eating goes.
Hope your pup is doing better. |
