Dog Help, Please.

edited June 2008 in General Discussion
Okay, well in RL I have a Sib. Husky female (spayed) named Misty. She is 8 months old, and there's a problem. I would really like advice. <br><br>Problem - She won't eat. I had two dogs, her and Max (GSD) before, like a month ago. Well when she was with Max, she would have no problem eating, and ate like a pig :P After we gave away Max, she started to stop eating. I've been worried sick about her. We've been to the vet and he thinks it's depression. :( She'll eat, but only if me or my mom handfeeds her and only if she's really hungry. :| I don't know what to do! -_-<br><br>Please post your advice here. I would really appreciate it.
bluehh.

  • The best advice would be from the vet. Our guesses would be as good as yours if not worse. We cant see your dog or its behavior. :wink:

    <br><br>Thanks Tarnish. I'm just worried about her. -_- She might be in depression, that's what the vet thinks. -.-
    bluehh.
  • Have you tried some delicious smelling canned dog food mixed with dry or even a little cooked meat buried under her normal food. I've known dogs to decide to start eating just by pouring some hot water over the dry food. Dogs' sense of smell is the greatest controller, so if you can entice the nose, the mouth may follow.

    <br><br>We've tried all kinds of things. -_- Isn't raw meat bad? XD Although I will try that. Thanks :D

  • Raw meat from a grocery store is not bad for dogs. Don't let them eat roadkill or something they find themselves.

  • This happens to us all the time. Mostly when we sell puppies from a litter.<br>The moms get very attached I guess, which a lot of dogs -dont- and so they<br>won't eat once all the puppies are gone. (usually we keep a puppy to prevent this from happening ;D) Since our dogs are shown it's important for them to stay a certain weight. Not that non-shown dogs should be skinny XD I'm just<br>saying...<br><br>Anyways...<br>Alabama was right, raw meat mixed with wet dog food helps a ton! If she<br>doesn't like the wet food, which some dogs don't, then try dry food mixed <br>with a little water. <br><br>You could also try boneless chicken mixed with rice and cottage cheese. <br><br>Peanut butter, rice and dry dog food.<br><br>Wet dog food with rice and meat.<br><br>...pretty much anything with rice/meat. xD as long as it's nothing toxic to<br>the dog or anything like that ;D<br><br>And...we have had 1 situation where one of our dogs became constapated from eating w/e it was we gave her (vet said it was because her system wasn't used to eating it) so if that does happen, just give her a scoop of whole pumpkin that you can get from any market ;D<br><br>;D Hope this helps :)
  • <span style="font-size:75">Bella goes through periods without eating. A lot. And when she does eat, she vomits.<br><br>She's been to the vet about the vomitting, and it's because she has a sensitive stomach. So we switched her food and give her some pumpkin for extra fiber.<br><br>Anyway, we make it more enjoyable for her by tossing her the food, rolling it to her.. things like that. And if she won't eat, she won't eat. We either try later, or get her riled up with a game and toys and things. Then try it. <br><br>Not sure if that helps any. Bella is a 6 year old mellow mutt. Getting her to play is a pain, or easy. So.. :] For a puppy, I don't think it would be nearly as hard.</span>
