So I posted on the Yahoo group asking what I should do and got a very helpful response--I should try different types of meat. Ok, so I took the advice and headed to a local pet nutrition store "Long Leash on Life" with Emmett to see what their most popular items were.
The owners were extremely helpful and showed me what they had...most of it was BARF based (raw diet for dogs including meat & veggies), but I needed to get Emmett to eat. I know for a fact that Emmett likes lamb, so I bought patties made out of lamb & veggies (ground bone in it). I also bought beef tripe, which Emmett tried to eat out of the freezer.
When I got home, I gave him 2 patties and a bit of tripe...he ate ALL OF IT!!!! WOOooooWOO!!
And then I decided to push my luck and put the seared/seasoned chicken in his bowl and he picked it up almost as if he was going to eat it. He ended up just putting it on the ground, but that was more than he had ever been willing to do before.
I'm thawing 3 patties tonight and hopefully this good streak will continue! :D
