a week or two ago I made a thread asking desperately how I could get my dane, gabby, to eat. I was trying all kinds of things and taking any suggestions.
I gave her ibuprofen until i was informed it was bad and was even scared she had gotten a stomach ulcer from it.
Obviously it hasnt been long enough for her to gain 30 or so lbs but shes doing it!! I found the problem. The vet told us to keep her inside so she wouldnt play with the other two and use her hurt leg. Someone in the thread even recommended isolating her to make sure theres no fight for food.
THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. be aware this could apply to your dog too!!
Dog have personalities and feelings! My dog was depressed. She was inside all day. She came inside when i got home (around 5 pm) and went back outside when My mom went to work (between 8am and 12 noon)
I didnt think anything of it until the other day. She only spends around 5 hours a day with her sisters!! I decided to stop keeping her in the house and now her tails waggin all the time and she eats anything i offer her!
I just wanted to update her health and let everyone know this is a very possible thing and could apply to many problems.
