I saved a 2 year old Jindo on sunday and brought her down from Big bear mountain (which i believe is about 6,000+ feet in elevation). I live at sea level and it's very humid here compared to big bear. The weather here never drops under 50degrees F. at night. In big bear it snows.
The dog was raised with another Jindo (who i believe was the alpha of the group). The dog i saved is very calm and doesnt jump all over you. The owner mentioned she never was like that.
My problem is that she will not eat. The owners were feeding her kirkland brand food. She'll eat a little bit if i feed her by hand (dropping bits of food on the ground). I did that a couple times and stopped since i didnt want her to get used to getting fed. I've left food out and she wont touch it. A friends buddy works for inova and i got a box full of free samples and tried feeding it to her today. She ignores it. She'll eat the soft wet treats like nothing. I've tried giving her dog treats that are dry and she wont touch them. She tried a dog cookie once and once she realized it was sweet, she wanted more.
Her stool is a dark yellow/tan color and it's very wet (obviously since she's not eating)
I also brought her dog crate (which was her "den" back in big bear") I had her in there on the drive down and after that she wouldnt go into her dog crate. We put carpet out for her and she laid on that so then while placing the carpet into the dog crate she mounted me from the rear and tried to hump my back. After that, she now sleeps inside the crate. It's odd...
Anyone know what may be the problem? Home sickness? I've had her since sunday and since then she's only ate about a cup and a half of food. Should i just leave food out or do regular feedings and remove food if she doesnt eat?
