I have a 9 month old Corgi and ever since I got her, feeding her has been difficult. She never 'wants' to eat her food; most of the time, I have to convince her to eat her food, which would sometimes take forever. I have tried all types of food brands and a while ago, she seemed to like the brand Simply Nourished. Even though she liked it, I still had to convince her to eat. If I put the dish down and do nothing, she will not go near it. So I have to convince her (pointing at the food, staying with her). I don't want to stick by her side while she eats; that's no good.
Last week she got spayed and ever since then, her eating behavior has been weird again. The problem now is that when I make her food and call for her, she runs into her crate and stays there. One time, even though I regret it, I put her dish in her crate and eventually she ate it while in there. That was only because I was desperate for her to eat it. I want her to get use to eating in her 'eating spot,' which she really hasn't learned yet.
Can anyone explain her behavior issue? Or could this possibly be some kind of illness? I want her to 'want' to eat her food.
She's pretty small and somewhat skinny for a 9 month old Corgi, however she is the most hyper puppy I have ever seen. She will be running around SO fast, I'll sometimes lose track of her for a moment. Someone please help!
And just for kicks, I attached a picture of her
. And on a side note, does anyone think she looks somewhat mix? My dad says she looks like a deer haha.
