My first move would have been to check for cocci with a stool sample along with
the whole spectrum of tests for worms. No amount of tasty food will entice a
pup that has cocci going on that's for sure... the weight loss will continue.
That one particular illness, is also a bugger to cure. But, something is going
on with her because we all know puppies will eat and eat and eat. Hope you
find it.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] need advice- finicky eater
I need some ideas from the list. I received a call about a dog I sold. She is
being a finicky eater resulting in her being underweight not god awful but
still underweight. She is a very active girl, house dog. They did switch her
food from what she was eating when I had her but they said she started this a
few days after they got her so she was getting picky on the food I had her on.
The vet has done blood work and everything looks fine, she acts fine just a
really picky eater. They do feed her dry and just leaves it there throughout
the day. So I told them to pick it up after 20 minutes and not to give her
anything until the next feeding and to soak it a bit and incorporate some can
food to make it tastier. Also told them to put her on a performance food with
higher fat content etc. Gave them a few more suggestions but would like to
hear anything you might have found that works as well so we can get her eating
better which I am sure will then help her put on some we
ight. I have had dogs go off their feed and be picky here and there but not a
constant ritual.
If they give her people food to help her eat she eats around the kibble to get
to the good stuff.
Thanks in advance
