My pup is protesting mealtime...
I'm not so sure what to do. The breeder I went to had our poodle pup, Ruby, on a raw diet, a mix of meats and tripe that she made herself, so I purchased a months supply of the food from the breeder when we brought her home. As the mix ran out we tried switching her to Boca Burgers (raw beef mix) and Ruby refused to eat it, so I was giving her raw tripe mixed into the burgers until she refused to eat that too. I was picking up 1/2 eaten food every feeding and she went from her beefy puppy self to a svelt puppy almost falling off the toy chart. I called the local store and they suggested Magestic burgers as they contain the yummy tripe and RUby loved these - her weight was back on track! My kids were home sick for two weeks and my 7 year old daughter started feeing her like a baby, soooo Ruby only wanted to eat from a spoon. I told my daughter to stop it and RUby stopped eating, again. Then when my daughter went back to feeding Ruby she was dropping the meat on the floor to get Ruby to eat it (which Ruby liked immensely). So I had to take her off puppy feeding altogether, and now I'm left with a pup that doesn't want to eat. I tried the spoon and dropping on the floor in desperation but she's barely biting. She's only getting one to two servings a day and I'm worried because she is only 5 lbs. 2 oz. She's 4 1/2 mos. old. Oh, RUby used to eat her poop, that finally stopped that nonsense, and today I found her playing in the kitchen with a fresh prize. She's got tons of toys! Why play with the poopy?
She drinks plenty of water...
