Dog won't eat (had to switch food because of heart disease)
My 14 year old (13.4 pound) peke refuses to eat or just eats a little per meal. He was diagnosed with heart disease so I had to switch his food to Hill's h/d prescription diet food and then I have tried Hill's k/d prescription diet food.
Some meals (feeding him twice a day - 1/8 of the can mixed with 1/3 cup dry), he will take 2-3 small bites or won't eat at all.
I've tried enhancing the food with garlic powder, ground oregano, karo syrup, crushed freeze dry beef liver, rice, warming it up, adding turkey/chicken broth, adding some of the fresh boiled turkey/chicken to the dog food.
I read that you can take food away after 15-20 minutes and then wait until the next meal and a hungry dog will eventually eat. I'm just worried if this is correct because I don't know how many days a dog can go without eating especially one with heart disease and is now on meds (enacard, lasix,spironolactone, rimadyl).
PLEASE HELP!
