Cash not eatting
|

| Ollie gets like that now and again and I think he's just being picky or just not bothered - I don't put new food in his bowl as I think when you're hungry you'll eat it and sure enough he does - whether I've given him kisses or told him off LOL
The thing that I find does work is me mixing it with my hand (dried food of course) or if he sees me pretending to eat - then he'll eat it Try not to worry, and if it has been a day or two, maybe take him to the vet ?? |
| Being that young and playing hard, I would take him to the vet for not eating after a few days. It isn't a good sign and young animals can down hill fast. I am sure everything is ok, but it is better to be safe then sorry.

| I agree that especially at that age you can't let not eating go for very long. Is Cash at least drinking?
He is a little young to be loosing teeth but have you looked in his mouth? Maybe he has bitten down on a stick or something and has a sore. Can you get him to eat anything? If he is still not eating today, I would call your vet. It is better to have him checked out and it be nothing then to go over the weekend without eating. |
| Leaving an 8 week puppy outside is not a good idea. He can develope anti-social behavior. He will not learn "not to bite" if he is not with you while you are teaching him. The problem will just get worse becasue he will get stronger and bite harder. Now is the time to teach him. Ignoring it will not make it go away.
Outside an unsupervised puppy can get into a lot of trouble, and can eat all kinds of stuff that can harm him. He may have gotten into something, even a dead rodent or bird, or stones or whatever your location has running around. He should be eating 1 to 2 cups a day, and if he isn't eating at least 1 then I would definitely be concerned and see a vet. |
I spoke to my mother and who said she has been taking him in her house to love on him these last few days and while he is there, she has been feeding him  Also, he will eat for me, just not his doggy food. He will eat anything and everything else though. I may just change his food to what my mom is giving him, which is Kibble & Bitts. |
Not to knock your food choice- but kibbles and bits doesn't have a lot of the nutrients a large breed puppy needs. If you want to feed that cool, but you might want to think about supplementing his diet to make sure he's getting the nutrition he needs. Also- feeding different brands of food at once can mess up their eating habits- probably why he won't eat his current kibble. You might want to send him with food when he goes to your moms, so he's only getting what he should be  Knowing how sensitive their tummys are, I'm (happy! but,) a little surpired he didn't get a sore tummy from the sudden switch...
good luck getting him back on a regular food schedule! |
| i find most dogs will eat junk food, like kibbles and bits, if they won't eat anything else... but i wouldn't change his diet to that. stick it out with a good brand of dog food. |
| At worst, maybe just mix a little in with his better food to get him interested and then gradually reduce the amount until he's eating all the better food again. |
