Gracie's Mommy
Well-known member
Well, Gracie is a bit of a finicky eater when it comes to her dog food, but she never turns away a treat! However, it seems to have been getting worse over the past week or so. She doesn't like to eat out of her bowl (seems scared of it). Will usually eat off the floor or someone's hand and eats a little out of the bowl. We're working on finding a bowl that she will accept. But, lately its like she doesn't want her actual food. I put pumpkin in with it Saturday night and she ate around the food to get to the pumpkin. This morning she hardly touched the food whether it was in the new bowl or on the floor....but she will still eat her treats.
So, I'm not sure if she doesn't like the food anymore or if she is getting sick. Unfortunately, it didn't occur to us that she might decide she didn't like the food, so we've already bought a big bag of it. Any suggestions on how to help her like it more?
But, I'm also concerned that she might be getting sick. She's been sneezing for a few weeks, but the vet said not to worry about it unless there was also a cough and a colored discharge. This morning she seemed considerably more lethargic than usual...took her a very long time to wake up. Between that, the not touching food, and the gooey stuff in her eyes, I'm a bit concerned. She is going to the bathroom fine and did eat her treats when we took her outside.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!
