I can't seem to get my cavalier to eat!!!

I was thinking it was that. And I am pretty sure it is. But he will literally go for weeks without eating and it really scares me. Ill try being a little firmer.

He must be getting some food - unless someone is spoiling him with treats, no dog that small could eat nothing for weeks and survive. As she suggested, pick a food and stick with it, and elminate "between meal snacks" as well, until he gets back on a regular schedule of eating. It'll be tempting to sneak him tidbits here and there, but that he eats his own food is more important. Nerves of steel - that's what it may take. I know those big brown eyes will try to melt your heart ... but if he's been vetted recently and is otherwise healthy, you know what to do!

Have you taken him to a vet recently?? I only ask because my MIL has a CKCS and he was recently diagnosed with a intestinal problem, and has to be on a special diet. Just a thought.
