Pretty sure my five month old lab is teething. Haven't seen any teeth around but have seen some blood on toys, gums look irritated.
For the past couple of weeks it's been confusing to get her to eat. Sometimes she would eat her kibble fine (I assume the gum tenderness comes and goes), other times she'd eat kibble softened with water no problem. We bought a few cans of wet dog food over a few days where she was really not eating much and the novelty seemed to work to get her eating.
But this past couple of days she won't even eat the completely softened kibble. I just gave her a can of wet food and she gobbled it down. I was trying to get her to eat the softened kibble first because I don't want her to get too used to the wet food and only want that going forward lol. I even mixed a bit of peanut butter into the softened kibble and I know how she loves peanut butter.
She has been eating this kibble no problem for at least a month before this change. She would get so excited for meals as I put the bowl down, etc. So I find it hard to believe she suddenly doesn't like it?
