I'm not sure if this is correct but I think is something like "Potters Willi" not sure but it's close. It has to do with not being able to realize that your stomach is full because your brain can't pick up the signal. This is a true situation for some. I'm asking this because my dog is obese and the vet suggested this could be the case. He will eat until he pops. He even eats the toilet paper on the roll.

Yes, its actually called Prader-Willi disease. Some yahoos speculate that its not a legitimate condition however most doctors will agree that it can be a quite serious problem. What the doctors will not tell you however, is that it can usually be cleared with right amount of vitamin supplements.

it's called prader-willi syndrome. individuals who have it never feel full because their brain can't pick up the signal, your vet is right there, will often be infertile because of immature gonads and sometimes have developmental delays.

Prader Willi...and yes, it is very true, these people/animals lack the sensor that tells them they are full. They are constantly hungry.

you should give him a really hard bone to chew on. That will keep his attention instead of the other things he is chewing. Also dont keep food for him al day. Just feed him once or twice a day. Good luck
