I have the same problem with my little Jack. He's had blood work done, all good, thank God! So it is a matter of getting him to gobble up a bit more. So the vet said to sprinkle Probiotics to his kibble. That really turned Jack onto eating, but he seems to get bored easily with his food. I have to mix it up abit and I give him some good "treats" chicken, cheese, peanut butter, etc. in small amounts. I watch to make sure his main food is the kibble, I want him to get the benefit of the balance it brings. I have been using a secondary kibble as a treat too. Also I measure out a small amount of Nutrical and he gets that daily as well. Vet said that would be ok too. My little stinker does prefer to be hand fed, I am so bent on getting him up to 4lbs so that he can be neutered, that I do that to encourage him to eat, but I sure wish he'd just eat out of his dish exclusively.
