Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| I actually use the search option now and didn't find this topic. Since the ungodly hot weather started Kiara eats maybe one cup of food later at night. I know this is normal (eating less) was wondering if everyone else's huskies do the same and how much do you cut back their food and I am worried she isn't getting enough? |

| I've heard a lot of people talk about their Huskies doing this, and Ghost does it to an extent as well. When it first got hot she got pretty finicky for about a week or so, but is back to normal now. Some people do cut back their food, and hopefully they'll chime in with a little insight as well. When Ghost gets in one of her moods, we still offer the same amount, but whatever she hasn't eaten within about 15 or 20 minutes we just pick back up. I've heard it's been pretty nasty hot out your way, same here plus crazy humidity. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| Neither of my dogs skip meals- if they skip a meal I pretty much assume they are dying. Koda was in a funk yesterday and didn't eat dinner til around 11PM (very unusual) and I was freaking, haha. But it definitely wasn't the heat, we come from AZ and yesterday was nice stormy weather.
She won't starve herself. Just pick it up and see if she will eat a bit more next meal time. If you think she will drop weight, maybe incorporate more high quaity threats in (or I like to freeze a blend of yogurt/berries/PB in ice cream size foils and give them daily since it's hot, or freak a kong with PB, yogurt, or cottage cheese). |

| Yea I could start mixing stuff in she would eat that. But she is down to one cup a day later at night. Goes all day without eating. |

| My dogs only eat 1 1/2 cups (Koda) and 3/4-1 cup (Rogue) a day so that'd be pretty normal for me, haha. |

| Blaze started skipping breakfest a several weeks ago when it started getting hot here.
After we got Kerian and they spend time outside playing during the day he is now eating breakfest and supper.
I think he was skipping because he wasn't getting enought activity and it was hot here.
It is still hot but he is getting more activity during the day. |

| Sounds normal to me. My sibe did this regularly when the temps got hotter...up until we got more dogs. Now he doesn't dare leave any food behind for fear that our other dogs might eat it. But when he was an only dog he ate very little and even skipped meals some days during the warmest parts of summer. _________________ |
