Poor Turbo... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

He hasn't been eating lately, and he is getting REALLY thin.

I am worried about him, he wont eat anything...wet food, treats nothing! All he wants to do is be around Callie...I am wondering if she is in heat? But I haven't seen anything to really suggest that...other than that area is a little swollen. But my baby won't eat! Any suggestions? I have tried separating them, and now they are both in their own kennels but next to each other, and they go out and eat at different times right now.

help!

Ahhh that does make you worry...if he eats wet food...you can try making mushy or add water to thin it out and feed him with a syringe...I have had to do this a few times with KiKi....you can also mix water and a little corn syrup and feed that to him in a syringe...Good Luck!

If she is swollen it may be her just starting into her heat cycle. Is she having any discharge yet? When we had a little gal here to be bred by Dexter, he stopped eating much, all he wanted to do was get the job done. I had to separate them every so often so he would eat.

My male won't eat when my girls are in heat but I've just switched to Life's Abundance Food and now he's eating real good! He loves it!

If you want to try it let me know and I'll send you a sample.

Breny - shouldn't this review be prefaced with the fact that you SELL this product and have a financial incentive to recommend it?

Thanks all for your suggestions!

I may have to take him to my grandmas or something....I am just worried about my baby!
