She's a little stinker when it comes to eating some days are good and she'll graze all day, and other days nothing. I hold off giving her the nutra cal until she starts acting sick and shaking, and I do try other things first. I've read to that it can cause her sugar to drop and mess her up. I know it isn't balanced and I want to feed her a healthy diet. I used to be able to get her to eat boil chicken or turkey breast and she used love raw carrot but I think she bored with them. When she not in a mood to eat she'll turn her little nose up on everything even treats. I've have tried pounding her food to powder putting it into a dropper with water when she was younger. I don't know any other way to get her to eat. I also tried green tripe, wellness can puppy food and NV raw with no success. I don't have this problem with my other dogs.
