Guest greyhoundchick Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 My baby girl Sonora suddenly stopped eating which is very suprising to me because she is usually a pig. She ate normal last night and when I served up her food this morning she ran towards it like always but suddenly stopped when she got to the food and went back to her bed. She is been acting very strangely. Is there something else that I can give her so she can at least eat something? Should I expect her to get sick later on today? Thank you in advance for all your responses! -Marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I've had dogs do that and either the food was bad or there was a problem with a tooth. Are you at the end of a bag? How are you storing it? Did you buy a new bag? Has she had a checkup at the vet recently? Has she ever done this before? Lots of questions I know but hopefully it will make you think of possibilities. Sometimes they will skip a meal and I don't get concernec, but I do wonder when they do what she did--act like she will eat then smells the food and won't touch it. When that happens I return the food. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyhoundchick Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 We store it in a container in our house and its not near the bottom yet its a new bag of food. She has never done this before she loves food . And she went to the vet not to long ago because something was wrong with her leg so they might of checked up on her there.

Burpdog Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Depending on where you live and where you buy the food and who the distributor is, it could be a bad bag. Here is Houston, the weather is already awful and I know one distributor stores the food outside in unairconditioned trailers. This can cause it to become rancid. I know one retailer who isn't good with a/c and my vet's "kids" got very ill after feeding a new bag from that store. If she continues I'd return it and get another bag.

Guest greyhoundchick Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Sonora is only 3 years old and I have no problem returning the bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryhndsr4us Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 See if you can find the expiration date on the bag. Just because the bag is new to you it could actually be old.

TheFullHouse Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I don't usually get upset if they skip a meal here or there but if she continues to refuse food, I'd start watching for other symptoms.

Me either. Sometimes Xena skips a meal and then she get the loud grumbly belly. Sometimes I put a raw egg on her food and she eats it right up.
