have a 10 week old pup i bred 2 born but this only one survived fed well as a baby but this week has decided she will go on a hinger strike wont eat anything ive tried all sorts to tempt her but takes one mouthfull and then thats it has never been a great one for milk never would eat porridge weetabix custard tried evap goats full fat yougart NO just a worry as i can see she seems to have lost the chunky legs and body she had she now is lankier i know they go through stages when they can look all legs its just a worry that shes not getting the goodness she should be having ive tried raw ,cooked , tins, nature ,etc  went good at one time on asda,s hero pate but off that now doesnt like that now How long shall i let her go like this she hardly eats enough to keep a sparrow alive Although i must say she,s not thin YET Its one big worry its all i can think of If i put something down and she walks away i pick it up.Do you think its not helping as she,s still close to her mum although finished feeding off her about 5 /6 weeks ago.Any suggestions?

If she is well then I would Cut the number of feeds and the amount offered, otherwise you will turn her into a fussy eater.

well today for instance cant say she,s eaten more than a saucer all day and that wouldnt be pile up i,d say barely level I know everyone says they wont starve themselves but when there so young you just want them to get enough in them so that there bones etc grow and they will be healthy
