Deaf Aussie Not Eating or Gaining Weight

by Kerri
(Indiana)

I have a Australian Shepherd puppy that is deaf. We are having troubles with him eating and gaining weight. We have tried everything and besides the few bits he eating of his dog food and eat table food, bad for him but he is so skinny. He has been vet check and de-worned. Is that something that is normal with deaf puppies or is there something else we should be doing?

We have him on Iams now but have tried other brands, we have tried wet food with no luck. I just added turkey gravy to his food he ate a few bites and was done. My other dogs eat and are at a healthy weight. We always have food down to eat and doesn't eat it. I have no clue what to do besides seeing if making my own food but I don't want my other dogs on people food. Please help because I am lost.
