Hi, I have a 4 month old male rottweiler who is not growing normally. He is the last of 3 rotts that I have, my first is a 2 year old female, the second is a 7 month old female and my last is the 4 month old male. My other rotts eat well, I feed the bigger dogs 3 times a day, each one eats different amounts of food and they are fine, however the baby is a finicky eater, he eats 4 times a day. I started feeding him half cup 4 times daily but he won't eat all everytime I feed him and he is too small for his age. He is very active and plays all the time, he will even take on the bigger dogs, but he won't always eat all his food.
I spoke to the vet and was advised to start feeding him cooked food, which is what I give the other dogs, it is a mixture of minced chicken, minced beef and liver with grated vegs, (pumpkin, carrots, sweet pepper, and potatoes). This is mixed into the chow, they all love it, but he will still eat most of it and leave some back.
Can anybody help me here....
