7 year old Chihuahua. poor appetite? General Dog Discussions
Hi all, we have a chihuahua going on 7 years old and she is a house dog. the vet said she is 2 pounds overweight,not to bad. we give her nutro max canned and dry dog-foods mixed together. she has always been a finicky eater. one day she will finish the whole bowl,other times half a bowl, sometimes she won't eat that night. Yet and still if you was to give her something like a chicken leg,a piece of beef (all the things she should not have) ,she will eat that so fast it would make your head spin. I have to keep a strict eye on my girlfriend because she will feel sorry for the dog and give her table scraps. I strictly forbid table scraps, and i tell my girlfriend that she is not a great dane and chi's are finicky. if the dog don't eat that night she will say "the dog is sick or she don't ike that dog food". am i right in saying that chi's are finiky and just wont eat sometimes? P.S. i forgot to mention that she has a small piece of chicken jerkey at 5:00 in the morning but thats it till dinner. Help thanks
