My dog suddenly has a poor appetite. Is it from eating human food?

Question

Good day! My pet has a very good appetite. I am just curious this time when I tried to give her food, she ate only half of it and left the other. She is used to eat dog food, for some instance we tried to let her taste a bit of citrus, or banana. What could be the reaaon of her loss of appetite? Or maybe she's full? She usually eat at 6:30 am, 12:00nn and 6pm. But today I fed her at 6:30am, 11nn. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | 2 months and 5 days old | 7.055 lbs

I don't recommend you give your dog citrus. The banana is OK but really not ideal either. You are better off sticking to dog food and not human foods. Any abnormal foods could disturb her normal appetitie. If this is a one time occurrence where she didn't finish all of her food right away I would not be concerned. Just monitor her for any abnormal behavior (lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, etc) and if you notice her showing any of those signs or continuing to not finish her food then I would take her to your vet for an exam. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
