[PyrNet-L] Not Eating - and Question about food

[Dancingpyr@aol.com]

OK, I know that Pyrs can go for "days" without eating, but this is starting 
to be ridiculous.  Zoe, our 23 month old, has decided that no food is worthy 
of her attention.  Her basic diet had consisted of dry kibble, the frozen 
Bil-Jac, topped with liver (substitute any other human food, such as hot 
dogs, ground beef, chicken, etc).  Now the little princess has decided she 
doesn't want ANY of this.  I don't want to encourage her to be picky, by 
changing the food; figured she'd eat it when she's hungry enough.  She just 
had a "full physical" at the vets, and all was "well within operating 
parameters", and she hasn't lost any weight in the process.  Has any of you 
experienced this phenomenon?  Will it pass???

Also, we have been feeding two of our Pyrs the frozen Bil-Jac for some time 
now.  One of our vets recommended that we try this, and it does seem to 
encourage them to eat.  This past weekend, I was told that feeding Bil-Jac 
can turn your Pyr pink, because of the beet pulp that is in it.  I haven't 
noticed this happen to our guys, and tend to look at this statement as 
another one of these "dog house legends" (that's the doggie equivalent of an 
urban legend).  Does any of you have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Robyn
