New dog not eating. Suggestions?

[i-need-a-martini]

Our new 'pup' (10 months) arrived a week ago and is settling in well. She seems happy and has stopped pining for her old family although every now and then there is a bit of wimpering if she can't see where we are. 

She is drinking water but she isn't eating. The only thing we have managed to get into her is small bits of BBQ chicken skin (vets idea). That is in 7 days!

We called the breeder and apparently her companion (another female her age) also stopped eating but was back on her food by day 4.

Is there anything I can do?

I am sure Martini's dog will be ok once it has settled in with the family, positive it is getting the best care.

My 2 dogs are "outside" dogs, I will not have them in during the day and I do not allow them to wander willy nilly thru the house, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's how I and a lot of my friends were raised, especially in wonderful  weather.

This question has me intrigued, I can't wait to read further in this thread.

1) .....Does Kopes want Martini to sleep with the doggy.

2)......Does Kopes think Martini's hubby should sleep with the doggy?

3)......Does Kopes think Martini should toss into the doggies open snoring mouth a full chicken?

I shall read on now and see if Kopes has volunteered to sleep with the doggy.

Also, 

Artful and I are not the one and the same. We do agree about animal care. 

I don't recall having a conversation(or debate) about animal care with anybody on this board in the past. 

It's probably not correct, but I call my dog a "who", not an it or that.

I've never had a discussion with anyone on this board about animal care either until now. I have, however, taken a beating on the Soapbox and Animals Board  over issues of animal welfare. That never stopped me though from expressing my honest opinions and concerns, and it never will.

I never feel the need to apologize later for having expressed the way I  feel about issues of importance to me--even if somebody got ticked off or decided they didn't like me now. I was never good at sucking up anyway.  Don't know why you felt the need to point out that we're not "one and the same"--but you're right, we're not.

Oh Freddie what a lot of scenarios. 

However, I think there was a concern of a possible blockage by the uvula interrupting the .dietary needs.

Phew, what a relief no-one had to sleep with the doggy and the doggy is now eating - wonderful result.

Martini posted that she hit reply to you, when the fact is, she replied to me. I don't know why people think we are the same person. 

Oh well. It doesn't really matter, since we agree about the welfare of the dog. 

I think we all want the best for the dog. That is why I opened the thread. 

Now that the puppy is eating, I'm happy for Martini, and her new dog.

We sleep with our snoring dog, and our cat. 😛

TCM from my perspective why some might think you and artful are one and the same is the doggy pic, a quick glance and you could get mistaken who it is, now I did say a quick glance.

[tcmsecretuseid]

Yes, that might be possible.
