| Do I need to worry about her eating? Do dogs eat as much as they want? I leave food and water for Lucy while I'm gone for work all day but she doesn't seem to be eating or drinking anything. There's usually only one pee spot on her pee pad for the 8 hrs. that I'm gone. She eats when I come home but it doesn't seem like she's eating enough. Am I worrying over nothing or should I feed her some soft food to make sure she's eating enough. My husband said if she's hungry then she'll eat, but I feel like she's not eating enough. Crystal

| I would suggest you feed her twice a day and pick the food up but no, they won't starve themselves. Your husband is right. How old is she?

| maxi stopped eating about 2 weeks ago and she used to clear her plate every time she ate! it was weird behaviour... then one day she just became very weak and lied in her bed all day. i was worried about her so i checked her stool and it had little rice-like things in them. i never fed her rice, or anything that looked like rice, so i took her to the vet and i recently found out it was b/c she had tapeworms.. we went to the vet to get it taken care of and now she is eating again. maybe you should check your baby's stool?
