Is it the heat or just being a picky eater???

Posted by Survivor4Ever

I am hoping that someone can give me some insight on this. My Jack Russell Terrier named Harley (will be 7 yrs old on 9/18/2010) has had a very small appetite over the last few days and I'm very confused as to why. Let me give you a bit of history:
A week ago tomorrow, he went a whole day without eating or drinking anything but grass! He's been having bouts this summer with Colitis/Irritable Bowel Syndrome so we have been feeding him Metamucil with his meals. He slowly became very sick and tired of the gooey Metamucil in his food so we switched to plain pumpkin exactly one week ago today. The very next day is when he went all day without eating or drinking anything but grass. In the past, any time he has eaten grass we have given him 5 mg of Pepcid AC (per our vet) and within 20 minutes or so he was fine and was eating and drinking. NOT SO THIS TIME! He did however, have a normal bowel movement in the morning.
So we called his vet and she wanted us to bring him right in. She ran blood work (particularly to check for pancreatitis and dehydration) - both came back negative. Phew! After a complete exam her suggestion was to continue with the pumpkin twice a day, and to continue the Pepcid as well. Also, we have been doing a change of dry foods so we were to continue that.
Later that evening he was feeling much better after having another Pepcid and a small meal. He did well with the food change for a couple days (cleaning his bowl many times) but then we were hit with a heat wave. We are now on our 4th day over 95 degrees which is unusual for us in August. He is drinking well. But not really eating well. Especially not the dry. We feed him boiled chicken in addition to his dry food. He usually eats the chicken and leaves the dry.
We are not sure if he is just being picky or if it's the heat. He has had a tendency in the past to be a picky eater.
Any advice anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. So sorry for the length of this but I wanted to give you some history so you could give me proper advice. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
