I've been feeding Pixie Wellness almost since I got her in September, she always enthusiastically eats. I'm giving her about 1/2 a can and 1/4-1/3 a cup of the kibble (moistened), twice a day.
Last night I noticed that she didn't eat much of the canned stuff. Even though she'd eaten the first half of the same can that morning, I thought maybe it just smelled off to her for some reason, so I tossed it and gave her a little more kibble. This morning, after I fed her I walked her for an hour, and then when we came back I noticed a big lump of the canned food in her dish again. It looked like she'd eaten a bit of it, not much. I was thinking I should throw it out, but she trotted over to her dish and started eating. Then she went into the living room, and I noticed she'd taken the big lump of canned food with her and plopped it on the rug (great). She walked away from it, and of course I picked it up and tossed it out. Then she sniffed and licked around where it had been for a few seconds.
This is all such weird behavior for her. She ALWAYS cleans her bowl right away, first of all. And is not picky in the slightest. I haven't changed the amount of food, or frequency of feeding. She's eating the kibble, and eliminating normally, so I don't think she's sick. I don't mush up the canned food, if it happens to plop out in one big chunk I leave it that way, so I don't think that's why she wasn't eating. I just can't figure it out.
Any guesses?
