    14 week old Boxer pup has been imported at 9 weeks of age, and has lost her appetite.
    14 week okd Boxer pup. Left her Country at 9 weeks of age, has lost her appetite. It does not matter how tasty I make the food, she sees the bowl and moves as far as possible. I have had to take a spoon and feed her like a baby, as after leaving it initially, thinking it would improve, she just got thinner and thinner, so I now am giving her 4 small bowls, spoon fed a day. The Vet says she is fine and it is just psychological. In all other ways she is happy, alert, loving, and generally gorgeous. Anyone got any ideas on how can I get around this problem?

    Well, for starters I'd stop spoon feeding her or you're going to be doing that when she's 90 years old!

    I'd change from the bowl to a plate. I don't understand the "tasty food" part. What is she eating?
