[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 184707, member: 1991"] She really is behaving as if she is suddenly much hungrier. Very odd. But I wouldn't be thinking senility. And not necessarily worms, either. I think it's a fallacy that worm infestations make you hungry. A really bad infestation is more likely to make you tired and anaemic. How old is she? Not that it's necessarily relevant. I'm wondering about a number of possibilities, especially since you say she got sick from a different brand of dog food. I'm wondering if she's developing/has developed something like a doggy version of coeliac, or some other nutritional deficiency. Is it a dry dog food? Does she drink enough water? A lot? A little? How is she in the hot weather, with water? Somewhere in that dog's head (possibly influenced by a malabsorption problem, or some other metabolic/digestion problem) she says she is hungry. I think a talk to the vet is a really good idea. Marg [/QUOTE]
