Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / January 20052 year old AmBull Not wanting to eat
Ok I was wondering if someone besides the puppy wizzard can respond to this. I have a 2 year old ambull that does not want to eat all of his kibble at one time. I dont belive in free feeding so that leaves out the option of letting it sit till he wants to eat it. I also have a seven year old neo that will drink herself sick if we leave water down all the time. Has anyone ran into problems like this before or can give me some advice on what to do. Thank You Robert I would be more concerned over the drinker than the one who will not eat all his food at once. Any dog that drinks excessively should have a full physical by a vet to be sure there aren't any medical problems.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thank You > Robert Hi Robert, Just kill file PW... I agree with another poster about getting the excessive drinker checked out. That was the first sign I noticed when our (now deceased) springer had when her blood sugar was sky high and she was going in to renal failure... We had a toddler when that above springer was young, so we could not leave the dog food out, or the child would eat it. Supposedly it can swell in a child's thoat, choking them, so free feeding was not an option. We just left the dog food down for a reasonable time, while watching to make sure the child wasn't around, and picked it up after about 10 minutes. The dog quickly learned (I mean within a matter of days) to eat all her food at once. Good luck! shelly >Just kill file PW... Yep. >I agree with another poster about getting the excessive drinker checked out. >That was the first sign I noticed when our (now deceased) springer had when >her blood sugar was sky high and she was going in to renal failure... Yep again. Excessive drinking is definitely a sign that needs to be checked out ASAP. The slow eating thing is nothing to worry about. Like you said, put it down for a set period of time and then pick up what's left. The dog will learn. Thank you for the advice the neo has been checked and nothing wrong. then again she has all ways been this way even my handler had her checked while he was showing for me. thank you robert > Ok I was wondering if someone besides the puppy wizzard can respond to this. > I have a 2 year old ambull that does not want to eat all of his kibble at [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thank You > Robert |
