Good luck, I hope you find that your pup's problem is not serious. I'll be anxious to hear what the vet finds. Good luck and welcome to YT! |
This is what I'm doing now. The first few days, I measured the food to be sure she was eating enough, but now that I know Bella loves her food and doesn't have any problems with it, I pretty much free-feed her and let her eat the amount she wants to.
Since Pauline has two puppies, I'd recommend watching their eating habits for a few days, just to be sure that one is not being a bully and preventing the other from eating. Even though I have only one puppy, I can tell that Bella used to have food issues at the breeder's before I got her because she will pick up one kibble, run to a safe part of the house to eat it, and then run back to the food bowl to grab another kibble. She probably had to compete for food with a bully, and that habit carried over, even though she no longer has any competition for her food.
