Teddy won't eat My poor Tesdy doesn't feel well. He doesn't want to eat for the second day in a row. I have no idea what's wrong. Nothing has changed. He had complete lab work 5 days prior and everything looked great. I'm worried. Please keep my little boy in your thoughts today. |
Keeping YOU AND TEDDY in my thoughts today and sending good thoughts and hugs to you both xx |
Very sorry to hear Teddy still doesn't want to eat this morning. Keeping both of you in my thoughts that it will be something minor that can be easily resolved. |
Sending good thoughts and prayers for Teddy. Are his teeth ok? |
poor Teddy I hope he starts to feel better. Is he acting sick? |
Reese gets like this sometimes. I've had success with baby food. I'll put some on my finger and she'll investigate and then lick it off. I do that a few times just so she has something. Maybe try that? Has he gone to the bathroom today? Everything normal? |
Try some Parmesan sprinkled in with the food! That always works for my girls... |
Any news? |
Teddy went to the vet this evening. He hadn't eaten for two days. The vet gave him some cerenia and a little fluids. His exam was unremarkable and he exhibited no pain in his abdomen or any of his joints. We are doing a tick screen and pancreatitis screen but they are low suspicions. She thinks it's gastritis and if that's the case he should eat by the morning. If he doesn't, they held his blood and will do additional labs in the morning to try to find out what is wrong. He ate a little after we came home but in two days he hasn't eaten more than 1/4 of his total normal intake. Thanks for thinking of Teddy. |
Hoping Teddy is back to normal soon |
Oh no...I so hope this is nothing but a tummy bug and that he's soon back to his normal self! |
Try a little bit of no shell unsalted sunflower seeds!! It worked for my puppy who is very picky.. The smell it's strong and she loved it!! I couldn't believe how much she ate with a little bit of that on her food! That's what worked for me last night and this morning! I don't think they can eat a lot of it and make sure it's unsalted... if you can't find unsalted then just do salted and maybe clean the salt off but don't give your dog too much either way... not sure how much of that they can eat but apparently its safe for them in small quantities. Let us know how he is doing. I will keep Teddy in my thoughts and prayers! :animal-pa |
I've been force feeding my dog and I couldn't believe how crazy she went when we gave her 1 sunflower seed!! Here they talk about sunflower oil: Good Nutrition for Healthy Vegan Dogs Here they talk about the actual seed: "Skip the salt if possible, or serve in moderation, recommends Lauten. "Remember, treats should not comprise more than 10 percent of your dog's daily calorie intake. If your dog gets 500 calories a day, 50 calories could come from treats."" - 10 Human Foods Dogs Can Eat - Dogs Tips & Advice | mom.me Can dogs eat sunflower seeds? | Dog training tips,Dog food reviews,Dog health-Dog Questions can dogs eat sunflower seeds | Dogs Eat |
Xena Teddy normally eats very well. He isn't usually picky. He's sick, and I wouldn't try to force feed him. Ill know more today and am about to see if he will eat. Fingers crossed... |
If you force feed get a large syringe and make sure you run it through the syringe at least once just in case the food get stuck... Have you force fed before? Make sure you say nice things as you are doing it and go slow... I put a little bit of water in the wet food. Mine has been sick too with Giardia, upper respiratory infection and ear infection... Her stomach has been really upset with all the meds and I think that's also why she is not eating. Check his gums constantly and don't let it go pale... they must be pink!! Please keep us posted!! You and your furbaby will be in my thoughts and prayers!! I know how difficult it must be to see your furbaby this sick and not know what is going on or what to do!!! |
Teddy's pancreatitis test was negative. His tick screen was also negative. He ate about half his food. I'm waiting to see if the vet wants to give him more time or run more labs. |
Thanks for the update. I hope he will eat more for you today. Praying that little Teddy will get better quickly. |
Go Teddy! |
They want to run more lab tests. I have a funny feeling the labs will be fine and I'll be back tomorrow for some sort of imaging. |
Did you try a little Parmesan sprinkled on his food? |
Teddy is back to himself! All his labs were fine so he just had a little upset stomach. He ate all his food and two snacks. I was able to cancel his ultrasound that was recommended late today. I was getting worried but he is back to himself and we are all happy. |
So happy he is better |
I'm really happy that Teddy is feeling better and that all his lab work is good. |
Great!!! |
Happy to see this all worked out OK. Rarely a Yorkie here refuses to eat, causing a big worry that resolves within a day or so. It's hard not to panic. |
Hope that all is behind you and little Teddy is all back to normal. Amazing how a good doggy day means a good day for the whole house sometimes! |
Unfortunately, I cancelled Teddy's testing too soon. He's back to not eating. He is back on the schedule for tomorrow for an abdominal ultrasound. I am waiting for them to call me back on his blood counts. |
Damn. The roller coaster ride is the worst part about owning these little guys! At least Teddy got a day or two of eating and got some energy in him. Praying once again for your little guy! |
