My puppy is called Buddy, like the title says. He is a 7 month old German shepherd puppy. About 6 days ago he sprained his paw. We called the vets, but were told to keep an eye on him instead of bringing him in. He was limping and constantly giving us the sore paw. He stopped eating his puppy food when he started limping, he took chicken and treats so we thought. Let’s give him chicken while’s he’s not feeling great. So this goes on for about 4 days. We even tried putting his food up a little higher thinking it might be hurting his leg if the bowl was on the floor. Nope. So my Mum had the idea he was getting too used to good food. So today we gave him his puppy food in the morning he didn’t touch it. We later gave him a bone he normally loves and he picked it up for a moment then dropped it and forgot about it. Mum tried giving him more later, but he still isn’t touching it. He’s still limping a little, but that’s getting better.
He’s not even eating our cats food. (I know he shouldn’t eat the cats food, but when our cat leaves some, he’s usually like a furry dishwasher 😅)
What can I do, he isn’t eating his biscuits either. I can’t afford to get him to the vets right now.
Mum thinks he’s just being fussy, but he’s a bit depressed too right now.
How can I help him eat?
Thank you.
