Indie wouldn't eat her beef mince last night so I added some pulped veg that she loves, she ate about three mouthfuls and walked off so I covered it and put it in the fridge. This morning she did the same so I sprinkled a little grated cheese on top, another half hearted mouthful and that was it, back in the fridge it went.
Lunchtime (she is still on three meals) I gave her the same food, no luck, mixed some cottage cheese in and added a bit of fresh mince and she still on ly sniffed it
Poor, starving puppy...I sat on the floor and fed her with a spoon I only had to lift the food about a cm away from the bowl and she happily ate it but would not do it herself!! She quite happily polished off the whole lot.
All the time I was sitting there I kept saying to myself this should not be happening :blushing:, talk about making a rod for my own back Indie will probably want silver service and hampers from Harrods next

LOL Can you imagine the faces VS would pull if she saw you doing that!?!

Hope Indie doesn't get to used to this treatment, she'll cost you a fortune in cottage cheese :001_tt2:

Cripes the things we do for our dogs

Could it be soemthing about the bowl? I changed dish washing liquid once and the lady of the house turned up nose I click that was the problem and went and got some of the old one.

 

[delca1]

I've not changed anything that I can think of. I just can't believe I did it, I must be going soft as the years go by.
When I start a thread 'my dog is a fussy eater, please help' in the future I reckon I'll be laughed off PF

 

[tiatortilla]

haha, this made me laugh! mainly because i've done the same... never with wet food but i've had to sit on the floor next to the bowl and hand feed tia kibble before when she's not fancied eating it, perfectly happy to be fed, though! fortunately she grew out of that and is just hungry all the time now

The things we do for our babies.

Bet there's a lot of us that would do the same. ut:

I am very pleasantly surprised that I haven't been told how bad I was to do it.....YET

i haven't been here long but it doesn't seem like the kind of place where there's people who are going to come and say that your dog is dominating you and will now defo attack you cos you let your dog get their own way
unless there's another actual valid reason for not doing it.... in which case i'll shut up!

 

[Bisbow]

I think we have all done that some time or other, I know I have when Holly was being awkward

You are very bad for doing this & making a rod for your own back

Tilly refuses to eat her dinner unless she can see a chicken wing for pudding, whose fault? Mine! I try to trick her with a carrot instead, but she no stoopid
Now I give her 15 minutes & then the dinner goes in the bin if she hasn't eaten it. I'm throwing lots of kibble away & now thinking of going completely raw rather than part raw.

 

[Pixie2010]

Made me laugh as I have done exactly the same thing and all the time thinking what the hell was I doing!! Now if she eats she eats if she doesn't, she'll eat tomorrow!!!

 

[Milliepoochie]

Brilliant! She knew wht she wanted

This morning hubby stole some sausage from the hot breakfast buffet for Millie took it up to the room andwould the git touch it - No Went out for 5 hours came home - Would she touch it? No

Hubby broke it up into small bite size pieces- Scoffed down immediately Spoilt bugger

 

[BessieDog]

I'm going to try Bess again with the minced green tripe tomorrow. Might try your method if she refuses to eat it. She seemed to like tripe so I've got a freezer full of the stuff!

 

[Sarah1983]

Lol, don't come crying to us if you have to hand feed her every meal for the rest of her life

:lol: I think that's even worse!

Good news, she managed to eat her dinner all by herself. Phew, got away with it

 

[lipsthefish]

I've done it When Alfie was a few months old he wouldn't eat so I gave him the best cooked ham :blushing: for 2 weeks :blushing: we took him to the vet as he wouldn't eat anything else and the vet said would you eat anything else if someone was hand feeding you best cooked ham

 

[BlueBeagle]

Jenny is a fussy beggar! When we first moved back she refused to eat for days, it wasn't until our air shipment arrived and her bowl appeared and she happily ate everything Now she quite happily eats out of any bowl so not sure what her problem was!

Actually, since being in the UK she seems to quite happily eat most things now which is really odd.

Faces or Faeces?
