So beginning this morning I followed all of your suggestions and even though it TORE my heart completely out, I did not waver. I prepared his food and put it down with fresh water at his scheduled feeding times. He would just sit there and look at me like "umm, how do you think it's gonna get to my mouth mom? I ignored all that cuteness and went about my business. Picked up the food 20/30 mins later. Not touched. We repeated this process I tell y'all ALL DAY. Needless to say he hasn't eaten anything except for the cheese that is used to disguise medications. I am nothing but committed and will begin again in the morning. Thank you for your advice and encouragement. Couldn't do it with my so gracious and full of love people

Sending hugs of encouragement to you, Ashley, it IS difficult resisting those pleading eyes & sad, wan faces!

Keep reminding yourself, it's for his own good and you can not hand feed him every meal, every day. If he
doesn't eat after two complete days, let us know and we'll talk about options then. Do not panic or feel bad,
you are a great Mom, hang in there, you got this

@TyTysmom I've tried those toppers thinking surely he couldn't possibly resist those delicious morsels. Wrong. I've even COOKED LAMB, oh bless it. I've tired it ALL over the past month. It's breaking my heart though because I'm certain he's hungry. Also, I'm anxious about the empty tummy puke that will probably make its apperance in the morning. My stars this baby boy is wearing me OUT! Thank you for you support and encouragement

Tough it out mama, it will be okay. Hopefully today he will eat! Keep us posted!!!!!

[MENTION=16788]Ranger777[/MENTION] Congratulations! And well done, Ranger, for understanding and learning!

It should be perfectly ok to go without food for a day - I've read that some dog owners (working dogs, I think?) actually let their dogs fast once a week. We don't, but a few times we've got out of sync, eg if we've travelled, and then we've just skipped the morning meal. As long as there's water, going without food for a day or two, should be no problem, I think.

Ranger is very beautiful, and what a cute little brown tail on his all-white body!
