I have a 19 wk. old American Bulldog puppy named Peyton. I know he is losing teeth, but he isn't eating very much at all. Is this because he is teething? Is he in a lot of pain? What can I do about it? He has to eat a lot because he is a very large breed and is growing rapidly, he has plenty of toys.
Puppy not eating normally-because of teething pain?
This is normal. I couldn't figure out why my puppy wasn't eating a couple weeks ago and then I noticed he would gobble up any food that fell into his water bowl. I realized it was because the water made the kibble softer and easier on his teeth! I proceeded to wet his food a bit every day for the next week, and he was back to normal eating.
Reply:Dogs can usually eat as normal even while teething. Did you try offering him dog food soaked with water or chicken broth to soften it ? Or canned wet food? Offer these and if he still won't eat, then a vet visit is needed.
Reply:He could be experiencing some discomfort while eating but it shouldn't last long. Also, large breeds shouldn't have to eat alot. Be sure you aren't overfeeding him.
