Real food or dog food! Never ceases to amaze me what lengths people will go to get the dog to eat dog food. Most times they won't eat "unless" it has "people food" mashed into it. That should tell you something. Also Vets. will push the brand of food they sell, especially since they are making the money from it.
I've never fed mine dog food and never will. I see too many dogs that are sick with one thing or another and most with serious medical problems, and it stems from their diet, medications to help with all the problems and over- inoculating.
Regardless whether you decide to feed dog food or real food, right now you really do need to give that baby anything he will eat in order to get him healthy and to start him eating normal, which can sometimes take up to a year or two. Fry up some med. rare steak, mix with some steamed carrots, green beans and a tiny bit of either Quinoa or barley, and see how that works. It isn't expensive to home cook since these guys are so small even as adults. Also give a multi-vitamin each day. You can either make your own,( Dr. Pitcairn's book has the recipe for Healthy Powder which I've used for many years) or with some other type.
Good luck with your baby. I know how they can worry you just as much as the skin-kids. |
