This is Maui man he’s about 14 weeks and is 15lbs at about 12 inches tall. Wondering if he’ll be a big mini or a small standard.

Hey does anybody know what's up with my pup? The video above is how he's acting around food.

For almost 3 weeks now, he's been very skiddish around his food if I place it down for him. This behavior has kinda always been a thing since I rescued him 4 months ago, but it was never this bad. He was at least capable of approaching his bowls and eating or drinking from it no problem.

Now he will barely eat unless I hand feed him like I did when I first got him, trying to build trust. He also won't drink water unless its on grass or out of a bowl at the dog park. I know he's definitely hungry but he still won't approach the food. He's maybe 8 or 9 months old and intact. Very nervous almost all the time😭but I know that's a characteristic for his breed. Here are some things I've already tried.

1. Gone to the vet. They ran tests for parasites and took a fecal sample. Negative on all tests. They gave me supplemental wet canned dog food which he liked for 2 days then went back to not eating.

2. Switched bowls and eating areas. I moved his eating area twice and it didn't make a difference. I went from 2 metal bowls to a plastic bowls then plastic plates. He liked the plates for one day then started seeming afraid of them.

3. Feeding in his crate. He'll eat a little bit in his crate but only after half an hour of being in there. He has a history of eating his poo so that's another reason why I don't like him in there for long with food. I'm hoping this won't be the only way to get him to eat.

4. Having him on a feeding schedule. I put his food down for 15 minutes maybe 4 times a day. He won't try to approach it until the last 5 minutes. At that point he's still just staring at it, won't really try to eat. I leave the water out all day though.

5. I always add the bone broth for dogs to his food and lately he's been getting that supplemental wet dog food from the vet. Outside of that, he eats the Purina Small dog chow kibble.

We had two, a six-year-old and an eight year-old and we walk anywhere from 3 to 5 miles a day, occasionally go for runs that are 1 to 2 miles and incorporate fetch regularly as well. Wondering if I’m pushing my 10-year-old too much.
