We have a 1 yr. old Shih Tzu that suddenly stopped eating from his bowl. He always ate from it before. The only phrase I can think of to describe it is that he is terrified of his bowl. He will growl and whine at it. However, if we put the food on the floor, he eats it, but won't come near the bowl. We have tried switching bowls, location of the bowl, a plate... nothing. We tried the "tough love" approach - he went 5 days without eating. He is clearly famished and checks the bowl out often, but just won't eat. He gobbles up whatever we put on the floor, though. Any ideas?
