Malik is over 3 years old and has become picky for food. He used to be a hound. At some point I posted as he wasn't eating breakfast, and got that resolved as we were feeding him too much Evo No Grain. He started eating again just fine (but vet said Evo might be too high in protein for him so suggested to switch, which we did for Blackwood 5000 for his allergies).
About a month ago he's developed Demodex around 1 eye, vet said it clears on its own so just wait. I found this Immune Booster formula suggested by one of you, and started giving him that. He didn't mind after a couple of days, mixed in food.
Now he refuses to eat in the morning. If I add a salmon cookie, it helps but not always. He used to love sardines, now snobs them. Then he gets sort of interested around 10 a.m. and once I coax him to eat a bite, he eats his whole bowl, although sometimes leaves a mouthful. So he then refuses his lunch (we feed him 3 times to avoid GVD). And sometimes his diner.
Yesterday I skipped his breakfast to try to get him back on track. He then wolfed his lunch and diner down ! But this morning, same again.
This is starting to worry me, and I wonder if I should go back to Evo. I'm concerned he's not getting enough food, and he gets plenty of exercise between our long walks and running with my hb.
I also started giving him buffalo femurs 15mn at a time (or he'll eat the whole thing), but that screws up his meal schedules even more.
So, I don't know what to do anymore, any ideas here?
thanks.
