 The feeding dilemna
Hello everyone. I haven't been on this forum in so long and I have missed it. I am still fighting the battle of feeding Lexi. I'm afraid that I have given her terrible habits. I have been boiling chicken for her for approx. 1 year now and mixing it with Pedigree (that's what she finally ate). I took her to the vet's 1 week ago today and he noticed that her knees were a bit worse. He asked about her diet and when I told him what I feed her he STRONGLY suggested I get her on dog food for health reasons. Everything else was OK with her. So I picked up some SD and some eukanuba pouches. She hasn't eatten more than maybe 1/4 cup of food in this entire week. Everything I've read says a healthy dog will not starve itself to death but I'm still concerned. I'm waiting for a call back from the vet now. I'm sure he's going to tell me to stick with it until she's back on dog foods but I wanted to get some opinions from you all. I'm going to stop on the way home and get 2 more packs of the Eukanuba chicken. Not because of her but because of me. I like the way it looks better than the way the SD looks. I also give her purina hard dog food (small breed). She had trouble with bigger pieces of dried dog foods. |
