My Chip is also very picky. The only food I can get him to eat is Wellness Small Breed... He doesnt even like treats unless they are cheese. LOL.
We have really liked Wellness. The only other food I will get is the Nutro Ultra Holistic. I can tell a MAJOR differece in my little ones. They all seem happier, less shedding, brighter eyes, more playful, etc etc. Venus --- In [email protected], ButtercupandWyatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > chhuahuas can be soooooo picky sometimes, wellness is a very good food, they seem to love the chicken flavor, solid gold is good also..;-) i would have her checked for parasites for sure, they can reck havoc on these little dogs ;-) and something so simple as a worming can make all the difference in the world ;-) > > --- On Tue, 12/9/08, Christine Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From: Christine Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] HELP!! 9 mo. old chihuahua won't eat > To: [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 8:15 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks. I have tried the wet dog food, which she did okay on for a while.. When I noticed she wasn't eating, I stopped using the wet dog food in hopes that that was causing the problems. She does eat her "bacon strip" strips when she goes potty outside as a treat. I will try the chicken and calling the vet. > > I know sometimes people say that you may have to switch foods; however, I am new to having a pet that I am unsure as to what product is good for chihuahuas. > > --- On Tue, 12/9/08, ButtercupandWyatt <buttercupandwyatt@ yahoo.com> wrote: > > From: ButtercupandWyatt <buttercupandwyatt@ yahoo.com> > Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] HELP!! 9 mo. old chihuahua won't eat > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com > Date: Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 2:08 PM > > > > > > > > > > since she is eating poop, chances are she may have picked up a parasite or bacteria, i would bring her poop into your vet and have them run a giardia test, worms, and bacterias that could be the problem, have you tried another food? have you tried giving her nutrical? that kind of gives them a boost and makes them want to eat again. also maybe try giving her boiled chicken and see if she will eat that.. or hamburger ground up ( no seasoning). or can dog food.. see if any of these entice her, if they do, then it is probably she has grown sick of the kibble.. some dogs can be very finicky, i home cook for my dogs and have to rotate between chicken, and ground beef, they grow sick of them... they are also very spoiled! > poop eating is a bad thing, mine do it an dhvae passed around giardia, it is very hard to get rid of and very hard to break them of eating poop. > if none of these pan out, maybe you should consider having some bloodwork done also?? to maje sure nothing else is going on. > hope this helps, try the chicken, if she wont eat that then you know something else is going on.. > > --- On Tue, 12/9/08, ccooper916 <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> wrote: > > From: ccooper916 <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> > Subject: [Chihuahuas] HELP!! 9 mo. old chihuahua won't eat > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com > Date: Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 7:57 PM > > > > > My 9 month chihuahua does not want to eat her food.
