I know I should not have given in a carried her around for 3 hours I just felt so bad and that little face looked so sad. I did get her favorite doggy puzzle out tonight and that got her hungry and to eat a good amount. Thinking I need to get her another dog puzzle she loves them so much. |
If you've been hand feeding her for a year because of lack of appetite, it sounds like there may be other problems as well. Is she too thin? What does the vet say about her weight? Do you walk her every day? Walking can really help a dogs sense of confidence.
