I got him aged 7 months September last year. The previous owner gave him away because he just WOULDN'T EAT ANYTHING. We're his third family and we're keeping him forever, although I have to admit he's been making us work a lot.

His name is Freddy (That's the English version. We're from Brazil) and he is absolutely perfect: Well behaved, gentle and loves cuddles. My kid says he must have swapped souls with a real baby when he was born because our boy is just FREAKING ADORABLE. 

The only issue is that getting him to eat is still impossible. Throughout the year we've had him, we've tested out (no kidding) more than 50 brands of kibble. We got him meat, chicken, vegetable flavoured, high calorie, small ones, big ones, soft ones, you name it. His vet never saw a case like his. We ran blood tests, ultrasounds, everything. And it all came back 100% Normal.

What we've been doing is feeding him natural dog foods (Basically cooking rice and various meats made specifically for dogs) and, even then, some days he just refuses to eat altogether. And I have to force feed him. I water down his food and put it into a syringe, pick him up and feed him like a bird. Takes a long time and I hate it. He hates it and it's just horrible. I only do it last case or else he starves. And he's the type of dog that doesn't eat when starved, he just keeps on vomiting so force feeding is the least of two evils. That doesn't happen everyday, more like twice a week when he runs the whole day without eating.

Since all his medical tests came back normal, the vet has been nitpicking how to treat him. We've tried dozens of supplements and vitamins. They work for a week or two and then we're back to normal. The vet has been suggesting spaying for a long time now. I'm a bit skeptical because I've lost a dog to super rare side effects of spaying once. But I've finally decided to not let my trauma get in the way of my baby's wellbeing. This decision comes from seeing his eating get worse the last couple days. 

So I wanted to know how spaying went for those of you with super picky eaters. I know a bunch of Tzus can have problems when it comes to eating. I'm worried about his appetite after spaying and how worse it would be to have to force feed a hurt doggo. Honestly, I'm just super worried. Thanks for reading the post, you guys.
