I think she used to compete over food with her brothers and sisters when she was with the breeder so she developed this behavior. TODAY my worst fear came alive!! she ate so fast and was choking! she was running around the house because she couldnt breath so I did a heimlich maneuver on her until she swallowed it! I almost got a heart attack myself! now I am seriously afraid to give her food! please helpppp! |
Bogie did the same thing last night and he is 3 years old. I swear it took years off my life. We have come to the conclusion he is doing it because, he knows as soon as he eats his supper meal he get his ball (he is very ball obsessed and we let him have it a few hrs each day) Tonight I sat in the floor and hand fed him. We are not giving him the ball after his meal, He is a smart little buggar and has figured out if he eats faster he gets the ball quicker. He doesn't eat this fast for his morning meal or treats. Good luck..we also have the bowls that are supposed to slow down their eating.
