Marsha, The vet told me to do the same thing that you just said. I did it with Kiko AND I had to give in she would not eat. AT ALL. She walks by her dish, looks at it, walks by me, gives a dirty look and a tiny whine and that's it. The stubborn little cutie. I did not know about nutrical until this sick time with her this week and you all helped me. Diana

Simple as that. Place the food you think is best for him and he would like the most of all, and then leave it there. Eventually he will eat...they will NOT starve themselves. Just make sure you are the strong one and dont give in, lol. You may want to give a little nutrical a couple times a day for the next 3 days or so.,....about the amount of time it will take for him to give in and see it is that or nothing :-) Marsha > our 6 month old chi will not eat dry do food we have gone through 5 > different brands no by products you could eat it your self. > the first owners feed him people food the vet saod NO to that. > Could you chi owners give us advice on what to do? > Thanks, > Ron
