Help! Coda stopped eating...
Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2014 5:14 am
Hello all, I am wondering if anyone can ease my concern a little bit or confirm that I should take Coda to a vet as soon as possible.
About three weeks ago I got a new bag of puppy food. Our old one is Nutro Ultra and the new bag is Nutro Natural. I started mixing them and Coda did not seem to like it as much but she has been eating the mix consistently. I never switched her completely since she was not reacting to it as well especially when the amount of Natural increased and Ultra decreased. Yesterday morning she just did not eat and kept barking at her food. For her lunch meal I mixed in a little bit more Ultra and some cheese and she ate most of it. So I decided to just go out and buy another bag of Ultra and put her back on that. I mixed a lot more Ultra at night (half and half) but she did not eat again. Same thing this morning. I have not yet tried to give her a bowl with just Ultra but when I picked up a few kibbles that are Ultra from her bowl and tried to give them to her on my hand. She ate like 2 of them and spat out the 3rd... I'm not sure what to do. With other non-chow dogs I had before, they always gabble down whatever food I give them. I never knew how worrisome it feels to see your pup not eating. Advice please?
