Today Porto was a bit sleepy throughout the morning but he did come out to play a little and then to eat some. Not a lot but at least he is eating. I have been trying to figure out the problem, no drugs since the other night and he is still picky about his food. I am wondering if it is the texture or the taste of the wet, is it bothering him or he just doesnt like it and eats because he is hungry?
He is eating kibble no problem, he gulps them down but I dont want him on those, as diet, he needs the wet. He seems eager to eat it sometimes, he starts and leaves it there after trying for a bit. Sometimes he eats it, like in the video I did but to me it looks like he is having a bit of a hard time eating it.
Im gonna post it below, hope it is allowed, just in case someone watches it and has more of a clue as to what it could be, his teeth (he is on day third of antibiotic so maybe that is also why he is a bit more open to food than four days ago, if it is the teeth) or he just doesnt like something about his wet food... By the end it is clear he spits some.
I hate fumbling in the dark like this, Ive been going round it all weekend and all I can think is that the BW could have given a bit of light over what is going on and they did not do it. :(

I did more research into finding a specialist for a second opinion and tomorrow Im calling a few clinics.

Good luck with the increase. I hope it brings better numbers.

I couldn't see anything wrong in the video. What antibiotic is he on? Some of them are hard on tummy flora and make them feel upset tummies. A probiotic may help. Give it two hours apart from the antibiotic.

Thank you, Wendy!! And for you not noticing anything wrong. Lifts a bit of weight, I am an anxious person and I tend to overworry.
To me, knowing how he usualy eats, and knowing his appetite, is weird seeing him so picky, spitting food, leaving food in the plate and having to chase him around with it. But he is better than three days ago. Im trying free feeding these days, leaving out more options for him in case he feels like eating. Before, we used feeder because he was constantly begging for food.

He received a shot of antibiotic that lasts 4 days. His tummy still seems ok, no loose stools and I do have boulardii so maybe I try in case of need. He also receives a shot of famotidine.

Thank you, again!
