what can i do.

Answer 1

It is unusual for a cavalier not to be eating very much, as they are a breed that can easily suffer from obesity. You could try mixing your normal dog food with food you know she will like, for instance my cav really likes cheese, and it is very good for her, so i could mix her normal food with cheese to make sure she eats it.

However if she still is not eating very much I would take her to the vets, as when dogs are under eating it can sometimes be linked to other illnesses.

I hope she starts eating well soon though!
