8O well im not sure if some of you remember all the problems i had with marley and his eating when he was around 6-7 months, he just refused any dried food, if anything was added to it then he would pick the nice bits out and then leave the rest or spit the dried food out!
This went on for well over 6 months and drove me insane with constantly weighing him, in about 3 weeks he lost nearly half a stone with his refusal to eat. I'd seen the vets with him spoken to numerous people and there was nothing wrong with him, you could put a new dried food down in front of him and he would lick the bowl clean give it to him again he would literally turn his nose up and walk off!
It got to the point that i had hand fed him, done various games with him just to get him to eat his food! Which i know in normal circumstances you wouldnt do this as its making it worse but watching him lose weight was awful. I tried the put food down and take it up after 15 mins etc and that went on for a week with no food eaten!!changed his walks, changed his meal times etc
Anyway! Marley is a lot better he's maintaining his weight at around 30kg and sometimes he'll eat his breakfast sometimes he leaves it and the same for dinner.
We had oscar and he ate his food in 2 seconds flat and yep you've guessed it he's now starting to show the exact same signs as marley did! 8O :roll: He's now 7 months old! I've been talking to people that think it could be something in their genes but i really have no idea, just know that i dont want all the stress i went through with marley.
I would love to be able to snap oscar out of it straight away but after trying so much with marley im out of ideas! :roll:
