    My poodle weighs only six pounds and appears thin. How can I get her to eat?
    My poodle is ten years old and is very playful still. She is thin. You can easily feel her bones in her chest. She eats very very little and will eat only a very few things. She will not eat ANY dog food. The only things she will eat is tuna, roast beef and beef jerky (plain). This in not a joke, we are concerned about her health. Any suggestions?? :confused:

    I would talk to your vet. If this has been going on for a long time, such a poor diet could be taking its toll. While the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post254171 discusses a number of things, it doesn't cover treating the results of a long term poor diet. Actually for other medical problems, it only suggests seeing the vet. I think that is her only hope.

    I am sure the solution isn't tempting her with more rich food.
