Hi guys!! the last two days Riddick hasn't been wanting to eat.. He's never been a big eater to begin with.. So I made a hamburger, lean meat. nothing added to it and fed that to him.. he ate most of it yesterday and today he only ate a few pieces of it.. I tried feeding him his food but he wouldn't take any of it..
Last night I went down to our grocer and bought Iams puppy Select Bites it's Chicken in gravy.. he turned his nose up at it.. I got him to take some of it by breaking tiny crumb like pieces of his hamburger into it.. He licked it up and some of the gravy to, from his food and hasn't touched it since..
I gave him a tiny bit of honey off the tip of my finger this morning after his bath as he was really shivering.. I warmed the bathroom before giving him is bath as it's a chilly day today.. It's now 2:15 p.m. and he's sleeping.. he did eat maybe 3 or 4 pieces of his hamburger this afternoon at around 12:30 or so..the pieces were about the size of the top of my finger.. I don't know if the hamburger is more filling then puppy food..
I am concerned.. His appointment is his Saturday to go see the vet.. This will be his very first visit..
The vet is 45 minutes away and hubby is having to drive us as I don't drive!!
One member mentioned Nutri-Cal...Can you get that in Northern Canada?
I just hope that he'll eat enough to remain healthy...I just broke with my fingers some of his dry puppy food and he ate a little of it.. I have to feed him all day long as he doesn't eat enough in his 4 feeding times..
Any tips or tricks to get him to eat is appreciated.. I'm at my witts end!!
