Hi Guys , has anyones T.M as a pup gone through a period of not eating ? he is nearly 15 weeks now and all of a sudden his appetite has just gone , the weather has been slightly warmer , he eats a little and then just walks away , apart from that he seems fine .... Anyone had a similar experience ?

Regards

Luke

a vet check isn't a bad idea, just to make sure. But Apollo did that to me, and still does. The heat doesn't help at ALL.

Will do, thanks , it was just after the day I asked you about feeding , the next day he only ate half of what he normally eats

At his age, a vet check, just to be sure. But Apollo did that to us. Drove me BONKERS. Still does it though its generally less drastic now.

Agree with Ruth about vet check just to be sure but TM's are notorious bad eaters, fussy eaters and eaters that drive you crazy. Its not unheard of for them to go days without eating. My TM will pick from time to time, some times eat half a meal once a day and others she cant get enough, at the moment she is going through a pig stage. LOL. TM's will drive you insane. :lolbangtable:

yah, I finally got to the point where: ok, he's pooping normally, he's drinking water normally, he's acting normally......he must just not be hungry.....ARG!!!

Speaking of which, Apollo barely ate yesterday *rolls eyes* but its warm to almost hot here, kinda out of the blue, so I'm sure thats a factor in there.

I hear ya, Mooshi used to drive me to distraction with her eating, or shall I say lack of it. At the moment it seems like the more coat she blows the more she eats! Grrr...I want to know the person that can figure out a TM, because in my eyes they will be pretty darn close to being a God!
