Hello, you may be overfeeding him in the evening so that he is not hungry in the morning. I would recommend dividing his evening meal by two and feeding that amount on two different times. This may promote him to eat twice daily vs a single time per day. If this does not help, then Whiskey may need further diagnostics to include bloodwork and potentially an ultrasound to rule out an underlying disease. Hope this helps and best of luck.
