Rescue pup wont chew food (just gulps it)
Hello again.
Well, i have rescued a pup from the humane society. He is a (approx) 3 month old Bluetick Coonhound. He was found on a country road and brought in to the HS. He was there for about 3 weeks. He is a pretty great puppy having learned his name and "sit" in the first few days we've had him. We've had him 1 week and one day, as of today. Here's the problem. He wont chew his food. He is not food aggresive, he'll let me touch him, the food, take the food away and i have been feeding him about half of each meal by hand. Even with the smaller amount given he wont chew it just swallow the mouthful whole. Same with treats. He is pretty grabby with treats and i am working on "gentle" with him, but once he does accept it gently he still just swallows the treat whole. I have no clue how to deal with this ! Help help help ! Thanks ! (trying to add a photo... never done this before...) Last edited by ClaireDutt; January 11th, 2010 at 09:23 AM. |
