I've left his food down for 15 minstrel then picked it up, he went 2 days without eating. I switched to a bigger bowl then a plate incase he didn't like his whiskers touching the sides of the bowl. Nice have recently resorted to syringe feeding him and now that is becoming a fight. I am at a loss, does anyone else have suggestions?? |
How long have you had Toby for? Sometimes puppies don't want to eat during the week in a new home. Has this always been a problem or just recently? Does he potty regularly and have good looking poops?
You may want to visit your vet to make sure there are no medical issues involved first.
If he's supposedly healthy, then...
What kibbles have you tried so far? Have you tried soaking them in water first? Sprinkling the kibble with a bit of Parmesan cheese? Or have you tried feeding freeze-dried patty meals - they're usually hard to resist (i.e. Stella n Chewies/ Primal / Orijen)? How often does he get walked - maybe not enough exercise?
Welcome to YT by the way!
P.S. I've visited Hamilton once
