5 month old pup won't bloody eat

He's driving me bonkers! He's a small breed so never ate a lot but last few weeks he has got worse and worse. I started adding in extras to tempt him (I know I know but I was desperate) and for a while that helped but now he just eats the extras and leaves all his kibble, or turns his nose up at the whole thing

Dh says I should just put out kibble and if he doesn't eat leave him until his next meal. Would this actually work? Or would he just starve himself to spite me? He's my first dog so any help gratefully appreciated.

If you still get problems, then maybe consider raw feeding. I belong to a few raw feeding groups on Facebook and there are lots of Chihuahua owners feeding raw. My dog stopped eating as a pup at about 4 months. He never had any particular interest in kibble. I changed to raw and never looked back. What was great was seeing him get so excited about his food for the first time.
