I took out Beau's HP (prescription food) and Teddy ate 2 cups hungrily. Interesting?

 

I have gone thru this before, several times, I start worrying, and feeding one dog special food and extra attention, trying anything to get that dog to eat,, then another just decides to refuse his otherwise loved food,, but WILL eat the other dogs food. I know you know your dogs, we all watch them like a hawk,, but sometimes it's just that newly picky dog wants more attention, and thinks the other food is better, because you have been talking it up so much for the one who is really sick.

 

i have had to really be strict with the other dogs who are fine,,,, if they start to show signs of going off their food, i take their food away. they do get hungry and will eat their food again! IF Teddy is fine (and i hope he is!) then he will eat again! it sounds like Beau needs the extra encouragement from his history of IBD ~

 

good luck with both your boys!!! i have been in your place and it's not fun!

in my house, it's the Blue/fawm boy who eats like a champ ~ and it is a pleasure to see them eat and really love their food!!!

:yay I'm so glad he's eating!

 

It's so frustrating when a dog like him decides not to eat, because with most dogs you can just throw a bunch of yummy things at them, but with Beau, he can ONLY have certain things, and the list is short. You run out of options pretty quickly in terms of what you can offer to him.

 

How is Teddy's appetite?

Oh Robin that's GREAT! We'll keep thinking happy eating thoughts for both of them :yay

 

The past couple of mornings Sutra hasn't wanted to eat ALL of his breakfast...but I've pretty much rousted them out of bed and fed them right away, which is a little off of our normal routine. I think he likes to have been awake for a while before he eats (I'm the same way) :dunno He has been eating his dinner so I'm not worried yet.
