Kim,
I have a 7 year old bitch who is a terrible
eater. The 2 boys are quite the opposite. Paige came to me
with the warning, "she doesn't eat" and that is still true. I
fussed, cooked meals, changed food brands & flavors until one day I realized
she was not going to starve. Make certain whatever you feed is the
best quality since so little is going in. Until recently I considered a
cup eaten twice a day great success. Yes, she is skinny and has always
been skinny. She doesn't have worms--you might want to check your dog
too.
Just recently mine has decided to eat--after 5 years--and will greedily eat
a premium senior dog food....if it has a splash of meat drippings with cooked
red chile mixed through! Miss the chile and she'll come looking for it. I
guess each dog has its own special "comfort" food....<bg>
Hang tough, your puppy is just doing what puppies do--get pickey.
Perhaps she is asking for a more adult type food. I hope your's grows out
of this, but if not, be patient. Not all Pyrs are meant to be
giants.
