We have a five year old dog that we have had since she was approx. 1-2 years old. When my boyfriend adopted her, she had been badly beaten and was put on antibiotics to fight various things such as kennel cough, etc. To make a long story short, she has always been the center of his life. And about a week ago, we adopted another puppy (approx. 14 weeks old) and in about five days, Lexi has not eaten. We have had to cut up turkey, ham, and steak and put it on top of her food, in order for her to eat.
My question is, is this normal? How can we acclimate them better? I think that she might be doing it to get attention, or as a response to our new puppy. However, the puppy has also been in her food, and I think it might be a ‘scent thing’ too.
Can you please give me some minor insight? I don't want to have to give up our puppy! :(
