One of the most discouraging problems encountered by animal guardians is when they are confronted with a picky eater. Appetite issues are fairly common in pets, and it is not uncommon for an animal guardian to encounter this issue at some point in their pet’s life. While missing an occasional meal is nothing to worry about, family pets with chronic picky appetite normally need a a lot more aggressive treatment and approach.
Sometimes varying and changing the diet can be enough to fix the problem. In other cases, mixing in some bland table food and/or baby food can typically help. lots of canine guardians find that mixing in some canned food with family pets on an all dry diet useful. With finicky felines, I have found tuna juice, as well as melted butter or fat quite valuable when placed over meals. In family pets with chronic fussy appetites, however, it is also crucial to policy out potential underlying medical problems that may causing the change in appetite. A full veterinary exam, and possibly blood, urine and stool testing may be indicated. This is especially crucial in family pets who are older and/or who have experienced significant weight loss so that medical management of underlying diseases may be implemented.
