My Staff is getting skinner HELP

Help my staffy isn't eating as much as he should, me and my family have been feeding him thinned food with wet food and luke warm water and mixing it he likes it but he's not eating as much as he should help please thanks

If he's suffering from a decrease in appetite or losing weight, it's quite possibly something to do with his health. When was the last time he was de-wormed?

To Eleanor Emm I don't recall he was a gift from my uncle, the vet said he was fine, he has a ear infection ATM could that be something to do with it?

It's definitely possible, particularly if it's a bad infection and could be causing him pain or nausea. Does he have any medication for the ear infection?

Yes ear drops

Hopefully the ear infection will clear up then, and his appetite should go back to normal. You could try phoning your vet to describe the situation. They might be able to offer pain relief.

Thank you

What type of food are you feeding him ?? Is it a good quality food, as the better the quality the less you would need to feed.

Check when he was last wormed as teis may be a contributing factor to the probelm. Worming is usually administered every 3 months but depends on the brand and age of the dog.

(Btw by thinned food I ment thin dry food) I'm feeding him Connollys Red Mills Star with luke worm water with a small bit of wet food

The wet food is pedigree chums I am grieving him 300g of red mills and a half a tin of pedigree chums and a pedigree jumbone as a treat after a walk is that okay could someone let me know. Btw I'm a new staff owner any advice would greatly appreciated thanks

Pedigree Chum isn't a very good quality food, are you able to get hold of anything else, maybe try Natures Diet range, they do quite a variety:

Thank you ill try and get a some of that nature diet

How long has he had a lack of appetite? Is it only since he's had the ear infection?

If that's the reason, then once the medication kicks in his appetite may well increase again.

He's lost his apatite for About a 5-7 days now which is about the time we found out he had the ear infection. Thanks for all the help, you don't know I know the do's and don't of staffys
