Jed
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We have had the same thing with Rolo in the past. He didn't eat for about two weeks properly. He just refused everything. His kibble even if it was mixed with fish. We tried fish on its own, no joy, he also refused all biscuits & treats inc sausages. I contacted the suppliers of his food to see if they had changed the recipe but no, I even contacted the kennels he came from to see if they had had any kennel hounds do the same but no. I tried feeding him by hand but no. In the end I took him to our local vet who checked him over & said they could see nothing wrong with him and said he will eat when his hungry. He was fine in himself wanting to go for walks & to training but wouldn't eat the treats. We tried moving his bowl to a different location in the house as it was suggested he may have a fear or something may have happened which was causing him concern where he bowl was. Still no luck. Then someone bought a nature best wet food pack to training & we tried Rolo on it there. He eat it straight out of the packet. He did then promptly wee over his bed & my leg & the food smelt foul & was making me heave but it started his tastebuds going again. He then started eating small meals of burns with either the tray food or with raw mince. Then after buying a large bag of burns deciding he was now going to eat that he decided he preferred his old kibble if it had mince on it. So that is where we are today but he still goes through fazes of no wanting food. He needs a lot of encouragement to eat his meals. We were very worried too as Rolo is a slimmer greyhound but amazingly he did not lose very much weight at all whilst he was not eating. We think now in hindsight that maybe he was in pain through his neck or back as he was diagnosed shortly afterwards with a trapped nerve in his neck & spondalytis in the bottom of his spine. We take each day as it comes, feeding him up on good days & trying not to worry about the odd skipped meal. Not sure if this helps but hope Jed starts to enjoy food soon.

Really worried now Jed's barely eating anything at the moment have tried to keep him on Burns and not keep 'trying' him on different things in case he is holding out for something better but no joy he has only had half of a 100gm scoop today, refuses his favorite biscuits , will just about eat a few charcoal biscuits and that's about it. I gave in this eve and put some tuna in his food and he walked away from that too! Vet can't find anything wrong. Has anybody experienced this, it started when I went back to work after Christmas I am wondering if he has developed some sort of anxiety problem? His teeth are ok by the way.

Solo is safe and sound at La Provotais. She was so good on the journey yesterday and brilliant on the ferry and despite concerns about her not being a good traveller, she was absolutely fine. She is very settled and has eaten and had a good drink. Met the other puppies on morning walks and was fine. I think she may be a Daddy's girl though!
