Hi listers, I know it's Nationals week, but I'm hoping there are enough people checking email to give me some advice. I have a 2 year old male that has never been enthusiastic about eating so he's always been on the lean side. Unfortunately, my bitch was recently in heat and he went 3 solid days without a bite of food. Since then I have been trying to put weight on him, but his lack of interest in food is hindering my efforts. Let me mention that, unless there's a different recipe I am missing, satin balls won't do any good. This dog has no interest in meat, raw or cooked, unless it's really salty. I fear taking him out in public because he looks emaciated. John Q Public is too nosey these days and everyone has a cell phone. My vet said he would always stand behind me if needed but really, I'd prefer to not go down that road. Any ideas would be appreciated.
