Rosie is not eating - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Frequently my Adult Female Becca is contrary about eating with the Pack. I have a secret "tactic" which works every time.
I put a morsel of (whatever) food in my mouth, give it a wetting with my saliva and she gobbles it down like it was honey. Then it's gobble time with the rest of the crew.

From your mouth to hers is a very powerful tool.

I go thru bouts of that too....try pumpkin...May be sensitive stomach. And shredded boiled chicken and rice, then freeze the rest in ice cube trays.
Really helps my baby....I always have to "start" her up by hand feeding the first taste. She acts hungry , so I then set her down in front of bowl. I just found the smallest kibble I could (Fromm ), wet it with warm water, then mix in a little canned wet..... Merrick Thanksgiving Day Dinner don't ya know....
And she likes chunky not puréed!
PLUS tried around different dishes. She doesn't like sticking her face down in a bowl, so I found some small cheap glass saucers at Goodwill she likes .
I also offer activa yogurt off and on during day , she only takes a few licks but that's better than nothing, blueberry or peach ...lol
I know that really helps my acid reflux! I don't even have to take a Tum anymore!
Good luck!
