Re: [MVDincavaliers] suggestions welcome asap

We have had the same problems...Trina will have good eating days and bad.  One time she would not eat for weeks... no matter what we did and she had to have an IV.  Now we switch between lean ground beef, rice and low fat cheese sprinked in her food. Just the smallest amount.  She has a cardiac formula food that is prescription, so we just add a little something to it, and she gobbles it up! 

Good luck!

I feed my cavaliers mighty dog too for pills and when they won't eat.I get the ones that are mushy, not the gourmet dinner ones that have chunks of food.   If you look on the label you will see the ingredients aren't bad?  You should feed it to her if she will eat it.  Also try baby food, any type she will eat.  You might have to put  a little on her finger and hand feed her.  That is what I had to do to get them to eat.  Also try Vatical-Gives your dog needed nutrition fast. Highly palatable supplement gives your pet additional caloric intake. Each small portion of these gels brings your best friend high calories, superior palatability, and high-potency vitamins, minerals, fats, and carbohydrates. Each ounce of Vitacal provides 122 calories of usable energy.  You can get it at any pet store. Finger feed. Lastly, try a little cream cheese, finger feed.
