Last night I briefly left my bedroom to do a hair mask, and when I came back my dog was lying next to my phone
with nearly an entire cookie directly on top of it. Then she begged me for attention the rest of the night. I can’t imagine where she found a cookie, and how she managed to get it through my house without me seeing it. Has she been hiding it for this special occasion?
Here’s the cookie in question. It looks like just the edges have been nibbled off.
@SethGreene531 that picture is so cute, omg I think she’s pretty smart. She brings me things I need sometimes, like my meds. I didn’t know I needed a cookie
I think she was bringing you a gift and was only right that she got the proper attention the rest of the night. I mean, the sneaky manner in which she had to grab and hide the cookie in first place the last time you had cookies. I'm impressed.
@itsok i hope the refusal to eat doesn't cause malnourishment ... it looks like there is an appetite stimulant for dogs called capromorelin, have you ever tried anything like that? Or is it difficult to give them medication too?
@BlueGreenGrey she’s not malnourished and has been on an appetite stimulant briefly a few times. With the dog that’s harder to feed, I always opt for liquid medications if available. She does have her simparica that she takes monthly that is a pill, and it’s always a fight. My other dog isn’t food motivated but is much easier to feed and give medications, which I’m very thankful for, because she takes 5 pills daily.
@itsok it's good that it's somewhat manageable then
I had a cat who was impossible to give palliative care medication to in her final days, it seemed to make her miserable, when she was already miserable, trying to give them to her
