Default Depressed Corgie

We have a 6yr. old Pembroke Corgie. Our daughter just got a Bichon puppy a week and a half ago. We were concerned that our Corgie might be aggressive with the puppy, but exactly the opposite. Since the puppy came into the house she has totally indifferent to the puppy and hardly eats at all. We are concerned about her well being. Is this something she will get over? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

First have your Corgi checked by your vet. It's entirely possible that she's acting the way she is because of the new puppy. But rule out medical reasons before you try to do anything else.

If she checks out OK, make sure she's getting the same amount of attention as the puppy. Pet her first, feed her first, make sure the puppy isn't "replacing" her. Give her special time alone with you. If she's not eating, try adding a little yummy treat to her food; a teaspoon of yogurt or peanut butter, unsalted broth, a bit of chopped chicken. And give it time. It's an adjustment she has to make. And with time, and a little extra attention, she will.
