Hi,
This post is a spin off of one I posted on the General Discussions board. It is in reference to my dog Meenah's recovery after being hit by a car the week before Christmas.
She has been on Cephalexin, an antibiotic, which she has to take three times a day with food. Ironically, the medication is suppressing her appetite and the vet had warned me it might. She was already a very picky eater when it came to dog food. On this med, she won't even look at her bowl if there is dog food in it. The vet told me to feed her rice, chicken, hamburger, whatever she will eat while on the med. So she has been getting three homecooked meals a day.
Once she is off of the Cephalexin, I would like to switch her back to eating dog food. But I'm afraid she is beyond spoiled at this point! How should I go about doing this? Does anyone have a similar experience with this situation?
By the way, I do occassionally try putting out kibble mixed with canned food and mixing a little kibble into her homecooked meal, but she will not eat it.
Thanks!
