[paranoid grndma]

Help help, our 2 1/2 yr old silky terrier female won't eat. We love her so much, little by little she was getting picky and we started to give her human food, boiled chicken than flavor chicken like rotisserie and bbq chicken. She has a sensitive stomach and eat small to begin with, but now she does not react so happy for her food. What to do :-( wish I never gave her human food or let her beg, she just looked sooo cute and that face...
Now I am a basket case. She still likes most of her treats though. One day we let her go without eating because we are trying to tough it out, and the next morning she was throwing up yellow bile from which I've read was because of an empty stomach. So from than on, we would switch food chicken mostly maybe with cheese, and just fresh bought chicken and fresh rice only, also sometime hotdogs. I was paranoid. Help.

Have you taken her to your vet to make sure it's not something medical? Also the rotiserrie or bbq chicken could have some spices that may upset her stomach, and with the cheese it could also be a lactose problem.

Try and stick with a high nutrient dog food. I know their little faces are so cute and you want to give her table scraps, but maybe she may not be getting the vitamins she needs.

Have you tried something like the little containers of beneful, or the caesar moist food? They even look like people food but have the right balance of nutrients that the dogs need. The hotdogs might be all right for an occasional treat, but it's not a very healthy thing.

I don't know if that helped you any, but I wish you luck with finding something that is healthy for your furry baby. :)
