Please help with my pup????

Ok i have a 10 month old min-pin mix and yesterday morning i awoke to his stomach making fairly loud digestive sounding noises. I feed him around 7am every morning and then again around 7pm. I put his food down (homemade recipe consisting of ground turkey, mixed vegies, rice, etc) and he sort of pushed it around but didn't want to eat. so i put down some kibble and he took some bites but didn't eat it all. he's drinking water and eats treats and peanut butter so i think he's just being picky. So the sounds went away and i thought all was well but this morning the exact same noises came back. he didn't want to eat food besides treats/peanut butter again.

he is completely active, beats up my pomeranian, runs around playing with his squeaky toy being obnoxious, poop is normal....What's up??

Update:

rice isn't bad for their stomachs, it helps with stomach issues so STFU

Update 2:

i know little dogs can be picky eaters so i've been assuming that's the problem. he doesn't like puppy food he only likes my poms adult food but isn't eating it lately. i've been feeding him the same foods for months now so maybe its time for a switch. i will take him to the vet on saturday if his tummy is growling tomorrow morning again. he also has cryptorchidism (only one testicle dropped which he will be having surgery in october but i dont know if the testicle inside can cause this)...

Thanks DP & Texelgirl2 & spacecadet07

    He might be bored with the meal. Maybe try some light tuna with the rice. try some brown rice this time and just put it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Not enough to cook it but just enough to get the oils to secrete and make it smell more appetizing. He's eating and hes pooing fine. I am figuring he just doesn't want it. Does he eat some one else's food? is there anything being left out for him? Digestive noises are normal and just like people dogs stomachs growl too. If you are terribly concerned then a check up at the vets is a good idea.

    Well there could be several possibilities;

    1) He needs to be wormed. That's the most likely thing.

    2) Sometimes dogs just have stomach problems. Especially in pures.

    3) ....He might have gas.

    Everything els sounds normal so I dont think he's in any imedeate danger. Just watch him and if he developes dirareeah or starts to vomit, take him to the vet.

    Egads... i think your discomfort! the two considered one of my wee ones - who would be a million 365 days previous on the twenty third have been dealing with this on and rancid for the reason that 7-8 months of age. on the subject of the time i think of I truthfully have it conquered, something sends one or the different of them freaky back. on the Nat'ls interior the 9-12 mos b*tch class completely a million/3 of the b*tches recent shied from the choose. This situation is interior the breed in a great way. I had numerous long conversations with different breeders on the Nat'ls because it relatively is the 1st time i've got had an argument with it... there develop into no consensus on the thank you to handle it. a million/2 theory it develop into ultimate to leave them domicile to strengthen out of it so as that they did no longer develop into extra freaky over extra issues. the different a million/2 felt the canines ought to be inundated with stimuli so as that they might in basic terms recover from it. i've got been engaged on the 2nd attitude - so a tactics - no excitement on an ongoing foundation. sounds like now the terror is of the choose interior the ring - yet everywhere else they're superb. different breeders have referred to to me that there are not often Berner domestic dogs being shown - and that's for a reason. i'm on the edge of the ingredient of sending them off in my view to camp for a week or 2 - no longer because of the fact i think of it would treatment them, yet because of the fact I did that with their mom on a incredibly ongoing foundation and that i'm questioning if that develop into part of what made her so darned sturdy. I desire I had a competent answer for you. that's recommended to contemplate transforming into a member of the BernerL and asking there.

    he acts pretty normal so your situation sounds strange. there could be a major problem going on with your dog or there could be a minor problem. The only way you'll know is if you go get him checked out.

    He's not being picky, there's clearly something wrong with him and he should be seeing his vet.

    It could be something small or big.Try going to your vet,they have to know something.

    i thing it is because he might not like the food or it might be something bad so you need to take him to a professional help
