martnmagik 68 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I took on a new pat 4 days ago. And as yet he's refused everything. Dry. Raw. Table scraps you name it but not a single scrap has passed his lips. Fluids are ok and he's emptying as normal. How long would be acceptable to leave him? I'm firm believer in will eat when hungry but 4 days is getting a bit much I think. Quote Link to post

dogmandont 9,315 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 4 days sounds a bit long, is the terrier nervous or making strange in any way. Was he a picky eater before you got it. Quote Link to post

I've tried everything shortof force feeding. Tried him alone. Tried him with the others around. Even tried feeding him from my plate while I ate wich is something I've never done with any dog Quote Link to post
