Update on Esnupi

Hello! As you may know, we got our puppy Esnupi, but came to find out he had ZERO appetite. After day 3 of refusing to eat we took him to see a vet. He got some blood work done and vet told us he had anemia and polycythemia. We were working tirelessly with him to get him to eat anything to help his anemia. From dog supplements, to wet food, cat food, sardines, cooked eggs, so many different kinds of kibble, the only thing that has stuck with him is Pedigree adult kibble!

We discovered this by accident. Me and my grandmother share a backyard and she has a German Shepherd. We usually take turns taking our dogs out to the yard and while it was my turn my puppy sniffed his way to this German Shepherd’s kibble. I thought he wouldn’t even take a bite but then he gobbled it up for 20 minutes straight!

I went and bought the puppy version but he won’t take it, he’ll only devour the adult one. Puzzling, I know.

He refuses literally everything else! This is all we’ve had success with so far: whipped cream, peanut butter, pumpkin baby food, pedigree adult kibble.

We are focusing on getting him to eat these things to see a difference in his weight. So far he’s starting to fill in his ribs a bit!
