Fingers are crossed!

Yes, nothing to see or feel.. He also still chews his rawhide at night..

I hope you find what is making Tillo feel ill. Don't be surprised if once on the mend he doesn't want to eat any of the foods that he was eating when he started to feel sick. When my cat became ill and eating made him feel worse, when we finally got him turned around and doing better we couldn't feed the same food anymore, he would refuse. Even foods with the same protein source were snubbed for quite awhile.

I would stop the rawhide until he is better.
What did the vet say?

I haven't called the vet yet. Will do that tomorrow. He ate some kibble tonight, so I'm happy with that..
About the rawhide, I don't know if it can really harm him? He's chewing it once every few days.. not really eating it..

I don't give my dogs rawhide anytime, but that is just me.

I hope I can feed him raw again, but first things first. I don't really care what he eats.. I just want him to eat and gain at least 2-4 pounds

I hope you find out what's bothering Tillo. It's good that he ate some tonight.

I buy from a special brand: http://www.farmfood.co.uk/rh_additional_info.htm
They have very good rawhides.

I've always had problems with Apache and food. Whenever he used to snub his food I found that some boiled beef or chicken would get him eating again.

I don't have any words of wisdom…just wanted to say that I hope Tillo starts feeling better! :-)

I know most of these discussions come down to poo, but I'm sure the vet will probably want a stool sample too. I hope he doesn't have some sort of parasite.

How old is Tillo now?

Dallas went through a phase right before he turned a year old, around 10 months or so, where he would pick at his kibble but essentially not eat much. He has since started eating again & licks the bowl clean. I have been told through puppyhood they can go through spurts where they eat tons & then spurts where they don't eat much at all.

Hope it's just a small spurt & that he's not ill! Keep us updated!

He just turned one ;)

He had a good day today! He ate all his kibble! I decided not to call the vet. I hope he will eat some of his raw tomorrow.. but maybe I'll wait an extra day or two.. Now he just needs to gain weight again :) But I'm sure he will now he's eating..

Sometimes it's enough to only post something.. really weird.. I hope it continues this way, thanks everybody!

I used to have boys that would stop eating and get thin when females in the neighborhood were in heat.
Glad he is eating and hopefully he will gain back his weight soon!
