I still wonder if he has slight nausea in the mornings from his past illnesses. His GI system may not be up to speed yet. Also could he have an acidy stomach in the early morning after the night fast and need more tempting? Anyway, he does appear to be so much better and hopefully thriving, so try and be cool and not stress......yet anyway! Good luck, you are such a great and caring dog mom. |
Thank you dottieskyrky, Pilot is eating daily and not losing weight, I'm just not use to him being the picky one. He lives to eat usually.
Perhaps you right with the mornings. Pilot and Pax actually won't eat until later in the mornings now as well.
We use to feed them 3 times a day every 7 hours or so beginning at 7 AM, but they won't actually eat until almost 9 AM now.
I'm a young single bachelor and my mother typically feeds them while I'm at work in the city during the week since I'm gone 12 hours a day.
I also wonder if they some anxiety at feeding times as well? Perhaps we've been making too big of a deal.
I'm trying to learn to cope and alleviate this chronic stress, as you said, he's not losing weight and is normal otherwise.
Thank you for the continued support, it's greatly appreciated.
