Does my dog have an eating disorder?

I took Stella with me to Abercrombie to shop. The girl in these said my Stella was too chubby to shop there, and gave her the stink eye. Now, Stella won't eat!!! She waits until I'm not looking and slips her kibble to the cat.

What can I do?

I keep telling her she's not fat....just big boned for a APBT....but she won't stop looking in the mirror.

Oh girlfriend you totally failed as a puppy mom. You have to teach them at a very early age that size does not matter!! Got to live care free and happy!!

You see this gal here.... she knows that bigger is better and she don't give a crap what anyone says!! I mean, just look at her laying on that beach, loving life...Ok, granted she might need some help getting up and going home, but who cares!! That gal knows how to live!! ( and apparently eat)

Wow. Your poor dog is gonna need therapy to overcome this callous person's degradation of her physical appearance. B -itch the clerk out and tell her "Fat dogs need love too!" Sue the store for emotional distess of your dog. Make them pay for therapy and pain and suffering. A hundred million dollars ought to teach them some sensitivity.

Ooooo sure sounds like Stella could be anorexic. Does she have a warped body image? Does she weigh herself several times throughout the day?

I had a Shih Tzu that had an eating disorder. Seriously -- he was a binger. Not a purger though (unless he binged too much) He would begin to salivate and slobber all over my ankles an hour before mealtime.

When Broker didn't eat, I knew he must be sick....and very sick at that. He refused his food only two or three times in his life and had no other symptoms, but it was ER vet worthy -- and sure enough, a high temp and a high white blood cell count.

Take her back to abercrombie and tell her that everything here is over priced cr@p and the sales girl is ugly and will die alone and unloved. The pin up a picture of Marilyn Monroe
and tell her people thought she was a little to big but ended up being vetoed the sexiest woman of The 20th century

Haha Rachel.I think it's time to call Jenny Craig or just like Ulva suggested there's always rehab....(Stella's emotions will be scared for life for being called fat there's no hope)

Rachel Stella may be on to something, I mean look at her http://www.lovemypet.com.au/images/92_bo... she's the size of a St Bernard

Oh Rachel....

I'm so sorry that the ****** (OMG They like have totally stared the word B I O T CH ) called your dog chubby, but the best thing for her now is dog rehab..

Your dog might have a eating disorder take to your vet abd he/her can look at you record and go from there. One this you can do is put you dog in a room with just food and leave her there till she eats it.

Forget Abercrombie. Start shopping at the Gap. Much more tolerant of "normal" sizes.

Whatever you do, don't let Stella get an eating disorder. If she starts vomiting her dinner, get her into therapy fast! Bulemic dogs are not healthy dogs!

OMG, you shouldn't bring your dog into Abercrombie if she is too fat! It is just, like, sooooo rude! How would you like it if a fat person/dog came into your work? You need to get your dog into shape (I prefer to use laxatives!).

I would put her in rehab, but you know they always come right out and get worse! OMG! Maybe you should get her to hang out with people like Queen Latifah! Bigger is better!

Or you could just buy one of those skinny mirrors....

my dog bella does the same thing so i started running her in the morning and night and her apatite is back but not what it was. I would say exercise and make her earn her food, reward her after every exercise she does.

Rachel, let the dog do what she wants. Don't feed her for a month, she oughta loose tons of weight. After that you can feed her a moderate diet of oats.

you can tell the cat to just say "no" when offered the food

lol.

or you could put her into a rehab center...she might get to meet brittneyspears or smthing.

Oh NO! I think she'll need outpatient treatment with the Olsen twins!

Poor little Stella with the food issue.

She IS APBT... you could start feeding her children, and see if she likes them better?

Sounds like a snotty attention getter. Just ignore. Stella didn't want to hear the truth. Walmart will let her shop.

Yes, I say to Lane Bryant you should go. I know I always feel good in there.

has she had sudden mood swings,do u think she can hear humans.....
TAKE HER TO THE VET.......

Oh for Pete Sake Rachel! Take her to Lane Bryant to shop!

Their mirrors make you skinny! ;)

are you giving her the right food? maybe the food she has isn't the best. have her try different things. what i had to do with my dog was feed him from my hand.
