Hello again everyone.

Sorry if this seems long---

I've posted this about this before. Colby will not eat again. Refuses to touch his food. This is the longest period he's gone on one food. I just don't know what to do. I've gotten suggestions in my previous posts about his but mostly I was told I was "giving" in and needed to restrict his food intake to ONLY his food and wait. "He'll eat." Once again it is not working. About two weeks ago Colby started to resist meal time. Walking away from his food. Looking at the food, then at us and walking away. During this time we restricted his intake to ONLY his food. For next 11 days we managed to get to him eat at least 1/2 - 2/3 of his normal intake. Today will make day 2 of complete refusal of his food. No people food no snacks, nothing. He won't touch it. Yesterday he ate one bite. Today he has had nothing. Started throwing up. Now he doesn't act "sick". Runs around. Plays. Wants "attention". Will gladly eat people food if he were given the change, Basically Normal. Except he is obviously hungry. Give him his food and his ears will go back and he'll just turn around and go away. My family member thinks he "gets bored" with his food. He currently east a Home Made chicken and rice mixture I found on a website linked from this website. I also mixed in Stella and Chewy's Chicken Mixers until about a month ago he'd suck off the rice off the Stellas and spit it out. I don't want to change his food again for a bunch of reasons. Mostly its not good for him and secondly $$$. Its a pretty strong will I think I am up against and the fact that He's now throwing up bile I find disturbing. I have talked with my Vet before and was told now it the time I should give in and give a mild food to help his belly. But my god, is he really that strong willed or is there some underlying cause? Has anyone else experienced their furbaby refusing to eat dog food long enough to cause vomiting? How did you get past it? I'm only joking but is there some kind of Doggy Pot to stimulate his hunger? lol

I'm worrying like crazy and at the same time aggravated like hell!!!

Thanks for reading....
