Morkie eating problems Hi everyone, I've been reading a lot of posts on this forum for the last few days and thought I'd ask for help.
We adopted a male morkie from an animal shelter about 2 weeks ago, he's 2-6 years old (we took him to two different vets who had very different opinions on his age), and he weighs 7.2 pounds.
He's very picky about his eating, he will push the plate or bowl around and take a bite or two, then go into the other room like he isn't interested.
I've tried several dry dog foods, as well as 6 or 7 wet dog foods.
He'll eat a piece of dry dog food if I drop it from the table while we're eating, and occasionally he'll snack on it at night after we take him pee.
The only other thing he eats are dog treats, he loves beef-jerky style chicken treats and rawhide rolls wrapped in chicken.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can do to get the little guy to eat? We're both worried that he's not getting enough nutrients and protein.
Thanks for any help, and a great forum system that has answered a lot of my questions already! |
