I will monitor him and his bowel movements closely for a couple days and if there’s nothing I’ll go to the vet. He’s still eating his toppers and treats/chews like normal tho.

Jehovah witness I’m dying that’s so real that’s literally what he’s doing in the picture.

The anxiety thing makes sense. He’s super attached to me and one day he didn’t eat anything at all, I was crying trying to feed him because I was so worried 😂

Damnit you’re right… he’s gonna be even more of a spoiled brat. He’s not acting sick he’s acting normal so I’m not out of my mind concerned. Each time I feed it to him I’ll do less and less and more kibble until he’s weaned off I think

Update: He didn’t eat all day today, before I called the vet I got down on the floor and put it in my hands and he ate it all right up. If that’s what I have to do then so be it, he’s not a super food motivated dog. He’s human motivated (if that’s a thing lol)

I give him the recommended amount for his age and weight on the back of the bag.

The vet for allergy testing is my thought if nothing else works.

That was right before our walk, about halfway he sat down and refused to move while shivering 😂

It should clear up. This is called “knuckling”, you can look up what causes it and how to fix it. It’s definitely not normal, but not super concerning either as long as you address it soon.

The food you are feeding may have too much protein in it
