Seren Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Well, guess who has mowed through a lamb shank (taken off him after he had a chew on the bone for a while), followed me in and sat at the fridge door so I gave him a lamb neck (thanks The Spotted Devil I went down and got some to have ready)... then tonight he came in and backed up for some chicken meat in a chunk, a chicken neck and then some Royal Canin biscuits... Then went out and happily took in the views off the porch. He is hovering around again now so I might offer him some supper later if he still seems to be wanting something more. I cannot believe the difference in this poor kid... thank goodness I haven't scarred him for life by trying to force him to eat these last few days... I will always remember that this boy doesn't eat if he is in pain.. thank goodness his big teeth are almost completely through now. When I go to Toowoomba next I will get some turkey wings and necks for him to try Persephone. The great thing is if they don't take his fancy good little HolDol is happy to have them for her dinners... she is a real Lab loves her food whatever it is.

VizslaMomma Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I cannot believe the difference in this poor kid... thank goodness I haven't scarred him for life by trying to force him to eat these last few days... Because he is young, and because he is also happy and loved, he should never even recall these days. So happy for you both. (& Holly, Master Harry will share a turkey neck with you). :) Edited December 16, 2014 by VizslaMomma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesP Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 It is distressing and quite a shock when you get a puppy that isn't keen on eating. Hopefully it was just the leg and he will be ok now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seren Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 "Lots of people talk to animals" said Pooh, "Not that many listen though" That's the problem Harry thought about his hip this morning - must have got stiff through the night. But after he got going and went out to have a walk around he wanted some food. I waited until he showed that he wanted something to eat this morning so I didn't start 'hounding him to eat' again. He is a slow eater, but he happily had a nice sized breaky at his own pace. He lay down next to Holly but showed her he didn't feel like playing. Holly is so happy that we have "happy back here", she is a really sensitive girl and goes into her shell if there is any upsets. It is so good to see little Harry happy again too! Yep, you do have to listen to them and I learned yesterday that it isn't always what it appears... It is so good to be able to come in here and have help.. Thanks so much everyone once again (And I completely ignored my neighbour who said "Oh you always have your dogs to the Vet"....) And post script .... Daughter and son-in-law just arrived with their dog Heidi. Daughter said "Welcome back Harry!" They all went crazy-so-great-to-see-you-again as they always do and I had to hold Harry from doing his mid-air antics. Daughter (teacher) and her hubby have gone off to the farm to help Hubby for a few hours, but the dogs have all settled down again... they just love having Heidi visit. Heidi loves being out in the country as well, city girl that she is.... Just smiled that Harry had to have the last say before they all settled into the shade... little boys lol :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tikira Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Great to hear this news Seren. It is hard to see a dog that has little real interest in food, and is a slow eater. Jingo is slow too, so we need to allow him more time to finish, meaning we have to have his bowl asafe from Kira. It was a shock to us as Tip was a gutz :) We find a small amount of sardines or other goodies mixed with his kibble works, unless it gets soggy....sigh Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
