Hello everyone! I'm having a problem with my pug.. He's lossing his appetite this past 2-3 days.. He's not excited anymore when it's time for his meal to be served.. And he don't eat unless I spoon feed him .. He can't even finish 1 full meal.. I'm relly worried.. Did anyone of you here had a problem like this? What did you do? HEEEEELLLP! : (

After you have the pug examined at your vet and
if there is no medical explanation, make sure to consider
the food.Once that happened to one of our pugs, the dry kibble was bad. The date on the bag clearly showed that the
dry kibble was fresh and I always store the bag of opened
food in a large rubbermaid container.The store asked no questions and gave me a new bag
of food. -

Thank you so much to everyone who replied.. I had him checked by the vet and after a few laboratory exams, they said Timmy's in a normal condition.. One of the factors the vet considered was the changing of food.. I recently switched him to an adult food when he turned 1year old.. That's what the Dr said.. The vet gave him an appetite booster vitamins to help him bring back his appetite.. I've also searched on the internet with regards to loosing dog's appetite and I was scared of the articles I've read! Worst thing was, the possibility of having cancer of some sort of kidney problems.. That's what made me rush to the vet the other morning.. Good thing that according to the Lab results, he's perfectly fine.. He is actually eating, but I have to spoon feed him, that's the only way he will eat, and he still loves having treats.. One thing that I myself consider as one of the factors for loosing his appetite is that, maybe he's only catching up my attention, I'm a student and I'm taking up a second course in college.. My schedule eats up a lot of my time, Timmy is left alone in my condo for 6-8hours, and I sometimes forget to walk with him during the night and during weekends like what we used to.. We seldom play in bed before I go to sleep, just like we used to.. And spoon feeding him is I think his way of grabbing my time to spend with him.. Pugs are really intelligent huh?! He just misses me.. From now on I will make sure to have him always by my side, even if I'm busy doing my stuff.. Just this afternoon, I brought him to a place here in Manila, where pets are allowed, and where pet stuff are being sold.. I bought him a lot of stuff and we bonded together with other friends! He was jolly.. I saw a black pug at one of the stores and I'm thinking of having another pug so he'll have someone to play with.. Again, thanks everyone! Give your pugs extra treat from me! : )
