Help our dog won't eat....

[wildfan]

Its not his urine but in his stool, blood that is....it seems and looks good again..starting mixing some white rice with it...but still would like some more info if anyone knows on how to make that boy hungry!

[Lady's Human]

Just curious, have you tried rice+boiled chicken, with the rice cooked in chicken broth?

Try mixing in some wet food with his kibble then eventually phasing it out. Or even just a little hot water on his kibble. That's what I do for my puppy. Try also natural yogurt or canned pumpkin and mix it with his kibble. The thing with table scraps is that they don't have the adequate nutrition that he needs. You could also try Orijen if you can find it where you are...it's a new food but it's made with 70% protein sources and 30% fruits and vegetables. It's meaty and very palatable to dogs.

Has your vet done any tests on your dog? Does he have energy or is he lethargic? I think maybe changing vets is the answer!!!

I hope this problem clears up for your, however if it were me I'd still seek a second opinion.

Incidentally what tests did your vet run? I'm thinking that tests for parvo, giardia, coccidia, and pancreatitis might be called for if all the 'usual' tests came up negative. He may need retesting, whatever was going on then may have returned anyways.

It sure seems to be a strange problem. Please try to get a second opinon for the sake of you furbaby.

Keep us updated.

Has he been eating???
I agree 100% that it could very well be a food allergy.

If he is allergic to something that he keeps eating, he'll always have loose stool. Then the lining of the stomach and small intestine becomes inflamed and may also ulcerate, causing blood in the stool.

not always loose stool.....just after table scraps.....thanks all for the advice...
