Yo, does your dog need help? I notice you’re the only one posting in this community lol.

Has been seen by world class vets. They can't figure it out. Instruction is currently to feed him anything that he is willing to eat that is non toxic to canines.

Poor guy. That’s so strange. What does he eat besides ice? Haha

[–] Stimmed@reddthat.com 5 points 11 months ago

Lol, he will eat most anything posted here.

He will eat for a day and then has no interest in food for several days. It can be frustrating because I don't know if it will be an eating day or a refusing food day. This sadly results in wasted food.

The only things he will eat any time it is offered is canned tuna and cashews. Both can cause issues if fed in large amounts so he gets those every once in a while.

What's that rectangular thing that looks like a shreddie (breakfast cereal) in the middle?

[–] Stimmed@reddthat.com 6 points 11 months ago

That is Chex cereal. It is a crap shoot if he will eat, but we try to make sure his nutrients are balanced. Needs some carbs, cereal is fortified with vitamins, has fiber.

If he is in an eating mood, he does not mind the cereal or spinach.

You didn’t give him a fork and knife.

[–] Stimmed@reddthat.com 4 points 11 months ago

But I cut into pieces for him already lol.

Also have you ever seen a dog with a knife in its mouth? If you do, it is time to run away!
