I am almost at the point where I am going to take her to the vet now. She is on Healthy Paws and looks ok, isn't losing weight at all but she seems ravenous. She has always got a treat when she gets in from doing a wee/poo but for the past few days she has been crying to get out, walking in a circle and then coming in for a treat. Tis not just that though, she is crying at cupboards, work surfaces etc, in fact anywhere she thinks there is food. She has always been food motivated but crying and being so obsessed is a new thing for her. Am now at my wits end..........

I'm assuming she's been wormed? If she looks healthy and has a good weight then it sounds like a behavioural obsession type thing maybe ??? Can you give her a kong stuffed and frozen to keep her occupied for a good while and see if that helps at all? But if this is out of character for her then a trip to the vet is probably worthwhile to rule out any underlying issues.....
How is her palette, has that been ok recently?
Let us know how she gets on :075:

Aw sceryl,i so sympathise with you,although sir jasper is on steroids,i know how frustrating it can be,the constant craving for food,he wakes me in the night,and is constantly hungry,i really feel for you,i don,t know what to suggest babe,it may be just a behavioural thing as tanya suggested,but other than that i really have no idea,i hope it passes,coz i know how it does the head in xxxxx

I have the opposite problem with marty, he'll eat when theres food there and has no problem trying to ask for food when we're eating, but he doesnt wolf down his food like he used to! i hope you get it all sorted soon! x

Mmm as long as she has been wormed could be one of two things
1 - behavioural obsession type (habit, also under this)
2 - or the food doesn't suit her
What ever it is I hope you get it sorted real soon xxxx

Change Kali's food MM in the first instance, then if you have the same problem then try the vet.
