This morning there were maybe 15 kibble left, so I gave him a fresh 1/4 cup. When I left at 8:00, he still hadn't touched it. 
I'm hoping he will have eaten by the time I get home at 1:00 today. I was so excited that he seemed to love it yesterday, and really praying that I had found something he would readily eat. I gave him a bath last night, and he is just so skinny! |
You know, I went through ALL of that with my Yoshi. I really do think that sometimes, they're just not hungry. You know? I mean, WE don't eat on schedule every single day. Sometimes, we're just not hungry at 7am. I really do think that you've made a lot of progress with the RC though. He DID eat it. Not only did he eat it, but he practically inhaled it! I think that means that he LIKES it. So I'm sure he'll eat it again when he's hungry.
I totally feel your pain. I experienced the same thing. In fact, I STILL go through it. Some days are great! Some days are really difficult. It's a constant battle & unfortunately, most of my life revolves around feeding Yoshi. I hate it. I'm feeding PMR (Prey Model Raw) now. Not because I'm a big supporter of a raw diet, but because it's what my pup will eat. It's VERY time consuming & I'm not 100% confident that he's getting the nutrients he needs. Plus, I really want to be like every other dog owner & be able to just put some kibble in a bowl
It's been really frustrating. But I can't have my dog tell me what to do anymore! I really need to step up & set things straight. It's gotten waaay out of control.
Sorry for the rambling vent. But I actually feel a little better since I put that in print & let it out. It's hard to explain these things to my friends because they're not small breed owners & until you've lived it, you just don't get it.
