I have a 17 month old Malinois, Heidi who to be honest has never really been a big eater. She often eats a meal and then picks at the next 3 or 4. She used to be fed Bakers as my Lab was but when we got our new puppy she was on CSJ so I changed them all to it. About 8 weeks ago Heidi was weighed and was 20.9kg (quite low then I thought) but we noticed about 2 weeks ago that when you stroked her you could feel her spine. I took her to be weighed and she was 19.8kg. I didn't book her in to see the vet as she hates going anyway and I knew he would say she was losing weight because she isn't eating. I have since brought about 5 different sorts of food, some she wont touch, others she has eaten a little of (James Wellbeloved and Royal Canin) but she still only eats a few mouth fulls and then walks off. I know people always say that a dog will eat it when they are hungr enough but she really wont! She is a very active dog and gets walked for at least 1 and a half hours a day off lead and does agility training so it isn't that she isn't exercised enough. I know the heat probably hasn't helped over the past few days but i'm quite stuck now. Some advice is greatly needed and I am going to make her an appointment with the vet for next week.
