    Dachshund only drinks milk
    Hello, it's me again, I just have a question about our 2 1/2 months. Dachshund. Our oreo seems to be very energetic but he just won't eat dog food, we give him milk, bananas, meat etc, but he only eats a very small amount (less than half a palm full). I'm worried that he might get weak in time due to his eating. What should I do to get him to eat more?
    Also I have this question about dog foods, how should I determine if the dog food is still good to eat? We have a local pet shop and we buy our dog food from there by the kilo because they have it in 25-50kg bags and I'm worried that the contents might have been too exposed in time.
    Last, should I allow our dachshund to climb the stairs? I have read something about them having spinal problem due to the proportion of their body and that they be disqualified from taking the stairs.

    Sorry for the lengthy question. Anyhow, thank you very much.
