Something's up with Lola. For the past few weeks she hasn't been finishing all her food, or sometimes doesn't touch it at all. And she's been begging for "people" food or for her treats like crazy, both of which is something that she's never done before. On Tuesday my bf said she slept all day and didn't want to play at all, but she ate. Tuesday night she slept all night too. Wednesday she seemed back to her old self, last night she did eat all her dinner....but begged for my dinner and treats ALL NIGHT LONG. She would stand in the kitchen looking at the counter where she knew treats were and whine & whine & whine. I gave in once, but then didn't for the rest of the night. I tried to keep her busy all night by playing and doing training, but once I stopped for a second she'd run in the kitchen and cry. Then this morning when she woke up she went outside and threw up, then she didn't touch her breakfast. I noticed too that she kept licking her lips and making noises like she had a dry throat....too hot in the house maybe?

She gets a cup and 1/2 of dry in the morning with a teaspoon of wet and a teaspoon of plain low-fat yogurt.
Then she gets a treat in the afternoon like an apple, carrots or peanut butter in a kong.
Then a cup and 1/2 of dry at night with a teaspoon of wet.
I'm just wondering if she's getting what she needs, if I'm feeding her enough, if it's time to find another food...again? Is she just not liking her food anymore?
Thanks for your responses!
