As you may know, I have a very elderly dog. She is 17, deaf and a bit demented. She will walk up to a wall or door and just stand and stare. She spends a lot of time sleeping, but when she is awake and alert, seems very much like her younger self in that she can still jump around albeit briefly! The problem is that she won't eat dried dog food or cans. She used to love Winalot and wolfed it down with Pedigree mixer. I've tried cat food, all sorts of different brands and pouches to no avail. She will eat an odd one. I've been making stews, chicken etc but she has started to refuse these. Today I resorted to opening a can of corner beef and gave her that at lunchtime. She doesn't appear to have any mouth pain as when she is interested in food she will eat readily. I am loathe to take her to the Vet because I know he will probably recommend euthanasia, and as she still seems to have some enjoyment in life, I don't want to do that.
I would be grateful if anyone can give me any ideas about what and how to feed her. I've run out of ideas.
Thank you.
