About I week ago I found a dog food Callie really likes thank goodness. I think it had something to do with the size of the kibble pieces and I should have known that because she never likes big bites of anything and will spit it back at me if its not small enough. My dad had went to look for Canidae dog food for me and the 3 stores he checked didn't have it (Callie liked the sample) so I said well we could try Taste of The Wild so he grabbed a bag of that and because he knows Callie loves chicken he grabbed a bag of Natures Variety Instinct as well. She would not eat Taste Of The Wild but really loves loves this Natures Variety and the small pieces is the major thing she likes I think. Well I did not start measuring food until after her surgery. Well she is getting spoiled because I am hand feeding her in the morning and at night and my grandmother tries to feed her a little in the afternoon but she wont really eat then mostly I do the hand feeding because I'm worried she wont eat if I don't. She is supposed to get about a cup a day but she really is only eating about a half of a cup a day. Should I be worried about this? Is it ok that she is not eating as much as she is supposed to? Before the surgery she would mostly only eat when we would play so could it be that sense she isn't very active that shes just not that hungry?
