refuses to eat her dog food only wants human food - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I think she needs a vet visit there could be medical reasons for her refusing food. One time we had a dog on here refusing food and it ended up having kidney problems and that was the only symptom anything was wrong

i know not everyone would agree with this but personally i would not let my 10 week old puppy go that long without food..
if you have to give her some human food to get her to eat i say do it. Just make sure it is healthy food.
for example with the ground bison you could mix in a few finely chopped green beans and some mashed sweet patato .
see if that works.
i would speak to your vet asap though and see they have any suggestions , with eating just human food she will not get all the proper nutrients. Maybe your vet can suggest a good puppy vitamin supplement
will she eat can dog food ?

oh , sorry. I dont know where i got the 10 weeks from.
anyway , yes i do think a vet visit is a good idea just to rule out some medical issues.
she should probably have a full blood panel.
they can tell a lot just from that...
keep us posted

Just got off the phone with hte vet tech and she told me sounds more spoiled than anything else because a sick dog will not eat anything my daughter gave her a piece of chicken and she gobbled that up , but 2 days of nothing to eat and then make an appointment with the vet .............

if it were me i would take her to the vet and request the bloodwork... Better safe than sorry.

Exactly all dogs should be getting bloodwork once a yr just to make sure everything is okay anyway

Human food is extremely rewarding, if not see how we even humans have a love relationship with junk food lol. So, if you feed her human food, she won't like boring dog food.

I recommend that you mix. Use half chicken and half dog food. Then eventually use less human food. It will be difficult but hunger will make her eat.

Take your doggie to the vet!

dont worry , she will be fine.
You didnt do anything wrong.
You have been taking great care of her.
Just do what the vet tells you to and let us know what
happens at the vet.
