My picky eater is back.
He must not feel like he is starving anymore (he had a bout with worms about 4 months ago and we could never get the weight back on him), and is back to his picky ways. He refused to eat breakfast this morning, turning his nose up at the food he wolfed down just last night for dinner. Perry is now picking through his bowl, piece by precious piece, and eating the kibble one at a time... hiding what he doesn't want to eat in the crevices of his bed. Minus that it is ALL THE SAME FOOD, unlike Blue Buffalo. (You know what I mean... BB has those little kibbles and big kibbles, he hates the little ones.)
Now that his weight is somewhat back (EVet felt him and said he feels more healthy than any toy poodle he has seen... meaning THEY are usually pudgy, and he is nice and lean... so no worries with weight anymore! Yay!), I'm very concerned with losing it again, considering it took him forever to gain .8 of a pound to put him back at "normal".
Any tips/tricks you guys have to get picky eaters to eat? I know some of you have them!
(Also... another downfall about his returned picky eating habits - he did this when I first found him and would only eat frickin' expensive wet food - I can't slip him his benadryl in his food anymore! He eats so slow that he finds it and spits it back out! MAN!)
Oh, and just as I'm finishing this post, he's finished eating for now... with half his bowl left over... and burped. I mean... at least he's eating at all!
