I ran out of bones on Friday, so Paddy had Friday and Saturday with mince, veg and some lamb's heart chopped upinto his food - i.e. everything except the breast of lamb bones he normally gets. Butcher didn't have anything suitable. Grrrr.
Yesterday - got him some lamb bones (bigger and harder than his normal breast of lamb, but nothing he can't handle - large chops from the Tesco freezer section). Wouldn't touch them. Tried him with some oxtail (first beef he's been near for weeks but I was curious about his reaction) - wouldn't even eat the beefy outer bits. Licked, looked, walked away and didn't return....
Then he scooted for the first time ever (that I can recall)...only did it once but of course, am paranoid that he's now got anal gland problems from lack of bones and continuing (like Annie) to refuse bones will make it worse. I think he's heading for another episode...so it may be off to see Mark anyway very soon....
So yup - my dog refuses his bones too.....
