Appetite loss The past 3 or 4 days, Benjamin hasn't been particularly hungry.. If I put him and the food in the crate he will gobble it up. I just recently started feeding him 2 times a day. But now even today, he would rather sleep then eat the food in his crate... How worried should I be? |
how old is he??? is he eating NOTHING or just less than normal??? is it hot there??? has his activity level changed??? is he still peeing and pooping?? lol.. sorry for all the questions but they can help figure out if you should be worried or not :) |
How old is he? Does he usually eat a good bit and now has lost his appetite? |
His just about 7 months now. (4 more days). I live in NY so its actually starting to cool off... activity level has not changed... He is still peeing like crazy,(he is marking) he drinks water... he poops about 1x perday (sometimes 1x in 2 days) he was eating like 2-3 tablespoons of ground beef/Bison 3x per day... and his appetite started to lessen so my boyfriend recommended feeding him 2x per day (because he is older now) And for a little while he was only eating if i put him in his crate with his food (bad habit I started but I had to rush to work) But this morning.. that didn't even work. I tried mixxing it with chees and spoon feeding him.. I tried different food (wellness puppy formula) .... should I worry yet? |

No its not just meat, I mix it with about 2-3 teaspoons of stage 2 babyfood vegtables(greenbeans, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, butternutsquash) I used to also give him as a treat the fruits but he didnt seem so intrested in that anymore so i stopped for a while. Do you think he is mal-nourished??!?!?! |
i woudln't say mal nourished but he isn't getting all the nutrients that he needs.... you need to suppliemtn and i'm not sure i would use babyfood for a dog... a general suppliemetn is Missing Link.... and you might look into a different dog food |
Ok... Now he just thre up some bile... Guess I'll be going to the Vet |
They can throw up bile when they are hungry. Its probably best to have him checked by a vet however |
