Before I got Allie, she would bring her food in to the living room, one piece at a time and she would chew it. NOW, she just swollen s it whole. I tried feeding her first, and holding Allie in a different room, to see if she would chew her food. That did not work. I tried putting her food in the bathroom (away from the kitchen), that did not work either. She still will not chew it. I only mix canned food in, for breakfast. So, her other two meals the food Is dry. Guess she just has a mind of her own. Thx. For your input, I appreciate it. |
If she has a blockage, she'll be vomiting & having diarrhea.
I googled & only found a site for people, but it says that pellet stool is associated w/constipation...I would think it's the same/similar for dogs.
I taught mine the word 'chew'. I give them 1 kibble, said the word chew. If they chewed, I praised them. It didn't take long for them to pick it up. Have you tried those slow feed bowls? I read here on YT, some people put in a golf ball in the bowl. Not sure how that's going to help her chew or if the not chewing is making her constipated.
Maybe crush up her kibble? Hope you'll find a solution!
