Looking after a 7 month old golden retriever indefinitely as his owner is very ill in hospital. He arrived on Saturday having been in kennels for a few weeks.
He's settled well considering how traumatic and confusing recent events have been.
He apparantly eats chappie due to sensitive tummy. So that's what he came with. Unfortunately he didn't come with his own food bowls.
He hasn't touched any food or water since he arrived, other than water from the bird bath in the garden and a whole (small) tin of Chappie fed to him by hand yesterday afternoon (yuk!). He wolfed it down so was obviously starving but since then has refused any food in a selection of bowls and plates.
He was sick this morning but seems fine now, enjoyed his walk and poo'd.
I'm about to try feeding him by hand, but don't know if I'm making a mistake in going down this route.
Suggestions/experience of this would be very helpful as I'm feeling bad for this poor chap.
