Help.
I am many years a poodle owner but now with the new puppy, well, an almost adult dog, I don't know what to do.
We got her last November from a reputable breeder. She has a full set of heath and other papers. Nothing wrong with her.
She ate well until about a month ago, but now she is not eating in the morning at all. I can't entice her unless it is a scrambled egg. Nothing else any longer appeals to her. Used to be yogurt and cottage cheese and she is good to go.
Ok, She is getting older, so I thought it was ok. Now, like today, it is 7pm and she still ate nothing. She ate some yesterday afternoon, but not much. The day before was almost nothing too. The process has been gradual, over the last month.
One thing she will eat is if we feed from my hand freshly cut up cabbage or cucumber or tomato. Other fruits and vegetables are good too, though on the rest she is more picky.
We feed her Eukanuba and Natural Balance (wet and dry, mixed) per breeder instructions. She gets vitamins in her food too. We vary between different flavors but it makes no difference.
We play with her, she chases ball in the dog park. What she exists on, I don't know.
We though maybe she is not well, but the speed with which she chases that ball, says otherwise. And the vet says she is fine. We will go to the vet again on Tuesday and I will raise this issue.
I always had standards, this is my first mini. She is about 13lbs and 14"
I am lost and stumped. Help.
