Yo, does your dog need help? I notice you’re the only one posting in this community lol.
Has been seen by world class vets. They can’t figure it out. Instruction is currently to feed him anything that he is willing to eat that is non toxic to canines.
Poor guy. That’s so strange. What does he eat besides ice? Haha
Lol, he will eat most anything posted here.
He will eat for a day and then has no interest in food for several days. It can be frustrating because I don’t know if it will be an eating day or a refusing food day. This sadly results in wasted food.
The only things he will eat any time it is offered is canned tuna and cashews. Both can cause issues if fed in large amounts so he gets those every once in a while.
This is super strange. Has it been like this their entire life?
You clearly care a lot, about this so just throwing out ideas:
Have you tried using a dog bowl? Offering food outside/on a walk? Maybe eating a bit of the food yourself in front of your dog?
I appreciate the brainstorming. He has been like this his whole life. First very visit was at 8 weeks old due to not eating for the previous week.
He has several types of dog bowls and plates. He refuses to eat outside of the house, much to the betterment of his trainer. I eat all meals indoor of him, and will pretend to be excited and take bites of his food and let him smell my breath before offering it to him. I will also give pieces of his food like bits of chicken to our cats to try to show him it is okay.
On his last birthday party he had a dog friend over. Both were given dog doughnuts from a pet bakery. He gave his doughnut to the other dog to try to barter for more play…
Sounds like he’s lonely. Poor guy.
Sadly he is. He plays with the neighbors dogs every several weeks, but definitely needs a sibling. Unfortunately the plan was to get a fence and then a sibling for him, but the fence money was spent 20x over on medical bills. Currently waiting on city permit to get a partial fence up to get him area to be off leash outside.
My one dog would have absolutely no problem with this and completely ignore the steak, unless I explicitly gave it to her.
My other dog would chow down regardless and probably not even chew. Chewing takes too long, you know.
All food in this channel has been explicitly given to him and the command to eat has been given multiple times… I did not dream I would have to teach a dog an eat command but here we are …
yo doggo is ded
What’s that rectangular thing that looks like a shreddie (breakfast cereal) in the middle?
That is Chex cereal. It is a crap shoot if he will eat, but we try to make sure his nutrients are balanced. Needs some carbs, cereal is fortified with vitamins, has fiber.
If he is in an eating mood, he does not mind the cereal or spinach.
Looks like the rectangle things from Chex mix.
Why would you put that on steak though? The plot thickens
Balanced nutrition. There is spinach as well. He likes both when he is willing to eat. If he does not like ingredients in his food, he will pick it out. I found out he doesn’t like green beans when he made a perfect row of them on his food table and ate the rest of the meal.
Maybe the dog likes Chex mix?
The evidence says otherwise!
Yeah, there’s Chex crumbles over the top.
You’re a monster.
Why?
You didn’t give him a fork and knife.
But I cut into pieces for him already lol.
Also have you ever seen a dog with a knife in its mouth? If you do, it is time to run away!
