Boy, I did not think the "fussy eater" was that wide spread. Bär will not eat plain kibble, no matter what.
He was never a morning person, so breakfast was either a chore or he did not eat at all.
Since he has been sick with hookworm, which turned him animic, we have added cannend tripe to his meals & he will now eat 1 cup kibble am & pm.
For his pm feeding he also gets whatever meat we are having for supper minus the spices.
But here is the kicker, I have to sit on the floor with him, while he is lying down eating & stir his food every so often for him to continue eating. This started when I had to spoonfeed him while being sick.
He is on the mend now, but as soon as I try to move away from him he stops eating. He had lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks, now gained back 5 pounds in 1 month.
The things we do for them, but he is worth it.
