This is weird - UPDATE IN OP :-(

I don't know if I should be concerned

We changed his food to Innova a few weeks ago. We have continued to moisten it and mix it w/ canned food and he has devoured it.

The past couple of days he hasn't really been in to eating. Actually, his food has been sitting on the floor now for about 10 minutes...untouched. Since this is a "change" from his usual behavior, should I be concerned?

His stool is normal and hasn't had any vomiting. He's not lethargic.

I soak it a little in water because I know his teeth have really been bothering him. There is one tooth that is really loose and it seems like he should be losing it any day, but it's turning gray. Maybe that's the reason? Could my furbaby have a painful cavity?

UPDATE:

It must be a bug. I waited until his next meal time to feed him again. He sniffed his wet food and vomitted (a few times)

I threw away the food in his bowl and gave him fresh rice w/ a little boiled egg in it. He ate it all

I think my little boo face has a bug. He is going to vet tomorrow anyway for his tooth, so I will mention this too.

Re: This is weird

I would keep an eye on him. It could really be nothing, just that he's not hungry right now - especially with the heat.

Also, he could have been "digging into it" b/c at first it was new. Now that he's had it now for a few days, he might not be as eager.

I know my dogs don't always eat the same amount of food everyday. Some days they're more hungry than others.

Re: This is weird

Charlie is on Innova too.

I see that he self regulates his food intake. Sometimes he will eat everything up and also want treats, and then he will back off and eat less for a few days.

His food intake also changes with how much exercise he gets, if its hot and the walks are really short I notice he eats less.

I agree with the above poster as well that it could be that the new food was a novelty in the beginning.

Re: This is weird

I'll keep on eye on him.

I weighed him and he isn't losing any weight (he's only 6 months and already 11 pounds...they are suppose to max at 15! )

I sat w/ him in the kitchen and he was being playful and mouthing A LOT!

We have an appointment w/ the vet for tomorrow AM because of the tooth. It's not looking very good and probably is rotting and needs to be pulled

It may be the weather, or maybe he's just not hungry
