Our little Charlie has a pretty strange problem: basically, he is AFRAID to eat out of his bowl! :shock:
We've had him for almost two months now, and he has never wanted to eat kibble from his shiny chrome bowl. He will sit in front of it with his head down at times & just stare at it, but will not touch his food. He sometimes even attempts to come close to it, but then all of a sudden he jumps back, as if it were going to get him! :sl*p: We guessed that maybe the sound the kibble makes against the chrome bowl bothered him, so we tried plastic & styrofoam bowls and plates, but nothing works. The only thing that he will eat from is a paper towel on the floor! Not joking; he eats his food from a paper towel. :sl*p:
Has anyone ever heard of something like this? And if so, is there a remedy so that he will not be scared to eat from a bowl like a normal dog would??
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
:huh: Confused,
Brenda
