I could really use some help - my 5 month old puppy will not eat. She's always been a picky eater and has dealt with parasites, chronic constipation, and gas issues however those have resolved. She eats treats no problem but will not eat her meals, she's eating about 1/4 of what she should per day.
We've been to the vet about every week and they say there's nothing wrong with her except that she's underweight. We have tried the following:
Any recommendations or advice are greatly appreciated- outside of this she's a very happy puppy.
Thanks!

We've been to the vet about every week and they say there's nothing wrong with her except that she's underweight. We have tried the following:
- Feeding her with us present and without
- Sticking to a consistent feeding schedule
- We have tried 3 different wet foods, 5 different dry foods, and dehydrated foods as well as chicken, sweet potato and rice and pumpkin
- We have fed her in different bowls and on our plates and we have also spoon fed her (which she'll sometimes eat off of)
- We've played calming music and done lavender essential oil
- We've tried to feed her in kongs/puzzle mats
- We've tried to feed her in different rooms and outside
- We've heated up her food and also served it cold and room temperature
- We've given her pepcid before meals
Any recommendations or advice are greatly appreciated- outside of this she's a very happy puppy.
Thanks!
