The problem with tiny dogs is that they don't carry enough fat reserves on their body to "carry them through" those spells when they are not eating well. If their blood sugar drops too low they can have a hypoglocemic episode. Adult dogs can go a little longer without eating, but I would be very concerned if one of my babies went for more than 6 to 8 hours without eating.

I would not try to force feed T-Bone, that usually doesn't work with our strong willed little terror of terriers, but I would encourage him -- try sitting on the floor with T-Bone and pretend to eat his food, dogs are funny that way, if their pack leader thinks it's ok, then hey, it must be ok. Also try to tease him into licking bites off your finger. Sometimes the biggest challenge is just getting them started.

Great Advise!!!! Always remember their blood sugar can drop quickly.
