Milo
Background:
Milo started eating poo so we took him to the vet who recommended we change from the wet food he was on (tin and mixer) to Royal Canin Vet Plan kibble..
Today:
Milo *may* have something actually wrong with him the nurse seems to think.
He hasn't eaten 1 meal (135g of kibble 2x a day) in 11 days. Hes lost .35 kilos. He'll eat maybe 1/2 a meal every 2 or 3 days just to say alive and thats it.
Nothing works, we've tried mixing it with stuff, leaving it plain, ignoring him when hes whining for food, taking it away if its not eaten in 10 mins, leaving it all day.. and he just won't eat the kibble.
Apparently, within a week of being picky he should be hungry enough to eat it regardless of the fact he's not keen on it.
Took him back today, and she says they'll try him on Hills Science Plan food which I've ordered in (arrives tomorrow) and if that doesnt work he'll need blood tests, liver function tests, kidney function tests etc to check there is nothing going on thats meaning he isn't eating.
He's to have 1/2 a tin of this mega expensive tinned food that I got from the vets tonight, but a dog his size should be on 2x tins a day and its not really recommended that he stays on it as its for dogs with special needs, which we haven't determined if he has or not..
He actually won't eat anything now, not even his old food, so the priority now is to get him to eat before he loses too much weight and we run into serious issues with him.
I'm just hoping now it is a case of not liking the food not something serious like liver/kidney diseases etc
