Question about my bullie not eating....

[Dana Mayhall]

None of my puppies are litter mates. I purchased each one of them. I am not a breeder. I just love English Bulldogs.

Just to update I didn't feed her last night I offered food she didn't eat so I let it go. This morning I put her food down and she eat some of it but was more like picking at it. I take each one of my babies for walks alone and spend 101 time with them all so they don't feel forgotten. My babies are my everything. They are never alone at all. If they can't go I send send someone else to do whatever I need to do for me. All three are spoiled. (worse than my kids are) LOL I will continue to keep you updated. and thank you for your advise. I hope it all works.

I knew they weren't litter mates to have the age differences...And my comment wasn't directed as if you play with them individually. Let me go pull my book about what it says about litter mates. I would think since all yours are still puppies it would still apply due to they are not mature dogs. Even though they aren't litter mates. Something you may want to watch for. .
In my book it states breeders in my book states pups should be separated. So they don't identify dogs as their pecking order pack leader. By 10-12 weeks of age. This should happen...between 6-8 mths dominance issues can become established....

I'm not saying that your pups are liter mates or that you must keep them separated...but...that you should watch their interaction. See if the younger one isn't being double tagged so to speak by the other two. This can cause stress and cause a pup to not want to eat as well. I would also feed the youngest away from the others...until she's eating more readily. She may be afraid to eat...with the other dogs around. I would offer her food to her while she's in the comfort of her own crate...safe in her den if you will...

And did you try soaking the kibble a bit? You mentioned she ate a bit...after skipping her evening meal.

Just wanted to give a quick update on Kami... She is doing great now. She is eating good, well sometimes I have to hand feed her as I think she is just too lazy to eat from her bowl. I don't mind that cause I am glad I am not having to force feed her anymore. She has gained 2 pounds already....=) So thank you all for your advise!!!!
