Default 11 mo. Pomeranian not eating.

Hello,

Our 11 mo. female Pom "Sandy" has seemed to have lost her appetite.
It has neen 3 days now, and although she did manage to eat a few bites
yesterday (chicken beef soft food) and today she ate a 3 small chunks
of raw hamburg. Other than that she turns her nose up at anything we
put in front of her. Three days ago she ate nothing at all.

She usually has a good appetite, although she is a fussy eater. She did
go through a similar hunger strike a couple of months ago. She had lost
her appetite for 4 or 5 days but then started eating again when we tried
her on a brand of food we purchased from a local vet ( at $2.50 a can ).
It was a rabbit and potato blend ( I forget the brands name ). She ate
this blend for awhile and now and then we gave her another brand when she
got fussy, but it wouldn't be long before she'd go for the rabbit blend
again. But then a few days ago she stopped eating it. We tried various
others but she wasn't interested. Earlier today we were wrapping some
hamburg for the freezer and I dropped a small ball of hamburg in front
of Sandy. She ate it. I dropped a few more and she ate two but then
stopped and wouldn't finish the rest. She'll turn her nose up at anything
else we offer.

Any suggestions ? Do we need to bring her to a vet ?

advTHANKSance

It could be any number of different things. If you're
really not sure what's going on, take her to a vet.

Once all this is cleared up I'd be more disciplined about
feeding. You'll be less likely to run into fussiness, which
is a behavioral problem (one which I really, really don't
like), and when there's something wrong you'll be able to
tell more easily.
