Hi everyone!
Has anyone else experienced this???
Fred is very healthy and doing well, but he has started doing something I've never seen him do before. He has become very greedy. When I feed him, he is supposed to get 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cups a day. He weighs about 52lbs. I usually give him about 2 1/2 cups a day. Well he whines until I give him that extra cup, which makes it 3 1/2 - the max of what I should give him for his weight. Well, when I feed him he eats real hard until the bowl is completely empty, then he kicks the bowl all over the kitchen. :lol:
Afterwards, he whine for more food and I tell him no, you have had enough. Then, he gives this "give up whine" and plop down on his stomach with all 4 legs spread out with a sad look on his face. Well, my son once felt sorry for him one day and gave him a slice of stuffed crust pizza. He woofed down a whole slice of stuffed crust sausage pizza from Pizza Hut that my son gave him like he had been starving.
Then, to end the evening, he ate his stool. I called the Vet and he said that he is just being plain greedy. I think that its possible that his food isn't filling enough for him. He is on Purina Pro Plan for Sensitive Skin and Stomach (vet's orders due to allergies)
What can I do?
