Try hand feeding her! Whenever my dogs won't eat, if I hand feed it they will!

It was weird though- because Bella gave them so many kisses and lots of energy and then looks at me, her poor mommy and is all unenthused!!! Needless to say I was a bit jealous. LOL!!

Anyway, I told the Doc the entire story about Bella and while we were chatting she took out some bits of Royal Canin dental therapy hard food and offered it to Bella. She ate it!! And even whined for seconds. This is the same puppy who would not eat the soft food on her own!! The Vet also took Bella home with her for a sleepover to see how she'd do during the night. She was fine! Ate her food on her own and drank water on her own, the vet said. They did give her Nutrical right before bed though and she slept through the night.

Ok= flashforward to today- we bring Bella home around noon and she has not eaten a single kibble of the same food she ate with the vet!! Not a bit!
So I am perplexed. She has been acting normal, playing, exploring, sleeping and finally her poop is completely back to normal! But again- I just don't know why she won't eat for us here at home. I've given her nutrical thru the day though. No more force feedings according to the vet.

I'm gonna stop back by to see the vet tomorrow to tell her that Bella hasn't eaten the food. I'm perplexed, but not as worried because her behavior and energy levels are 100% better. I am just being mindful of her blood sugar since she did have the hypoglycemia this past saturday.

Thanks again to everyone who prayed and offered advice and love.
