My Bunny will eat anything, but if you mix it in her food (like egg) she will not eat it.

Hope your able to find something she likes and will eat a lot of.

Olivia, Bunny & Bella

Yea, when I homecooked for her I didn't mix it. She still wouldn't have anything to do with it

Picky like her Mommy

Thanks I'll try the chicken broth.

I have tried cheese...she won't go near it?

LOL I think I got a lemon...she doesn't like any human food and she's the only dog on the planet who won't play with her KONG toys

(vet visit in 2 weeks!! for real weight) I will say a prayer for the baby !!!

I've seen that stuff, but I never even thought to try it

I'll get some first thing in the morning, that's a great idea!!

I see your in Canada so if they don't sell it there try an online pet supplier or i would be more than glad to send you a tube or two..it will last you for at least 2 months or so..let me know!!! Anything to help her gain some weight!!

Is NutriStat the same as NutriCal?

At one point we resorted to putting dabs of liverwurst on our picky little eater's food. That would get her started on it and once she started she'd eat fairly well. Professional trainers use liverwurst to reward with. Dogs love it. But a word of caution: don''t overdo it. Liverwurst is high fat and if they are allowed to eat unlimited amounts it could lead to pancreatitis.

Aww, Miss Chloe you need to eat!!!

I mix Sam's food with cottage cheese in the mornings and he loves it.

Worth a try?

spoiledrottenpo · 05-01-2007, 08:03 PM

Sorry, I ment to say HIM
1/2 cup of your dry food (soaked in water till soft. they can stop eating just because there tired of chewing)
1 raw egg
1 jar Gerber strained baby meat
1/2 teaspoon Nutri-Cal
2 tablespoons powdered puppy replacement milk
Mix this all together, This will last a few days so keep in refrig but warm up what you take out (not hot). serve on a plate (not in a bowl) or hand feed with a teaspoon every 2 to 4 hours. Also keep him in a playpin or confined in a 4x4 area so he doesn't burn off more calories than he eats, and only take him out to play for short periods of time till he gains a bit more weight. Also get him checked again for worms to be on the safe side.
