Hi everyone,
I have a 3.5 year old working cocker called Molly. She has always been a fussy eater but I've managed by keeping her food interesting by rotating flavours and biscuits etc...
However, over the last couple of months she has started running out of the kitchen when I put her food bowl down. When I call her back over she sits and stares at her bowl and then starts shaking. I have tried different biscuits, different meat toppers, cheese, roast chicken, scrambled eggs. I've changed her bowls, moved her bowls to a different place. Eventually she will eat if I hand feed her or put something different on a plate next to her bowl. I am at my wits end and this can't continue.
The vets advice was to leave her food and if she is hungry she will eat it. However I don't feel like that is very constructive and doesn't explain why she has started behaving like this out of the blue. She's hungry because as soon as I open the cupboard with her chews and treats she'll come charging over and she is not showing any signs of being unwell. Full of beans.
Anyone else experienced this? or has any advice please!!
