| Cottonwood and parrot poop, oh my! Seriously. She's very allergic to it, and it was ALL over Anchorage the entire two weeks. Also, she refused to eat anything, and at first we didn't understand how in the hell she was surviving, as she was pooping and peeing normally, until we saw my Father's parrot, who grew up with an aussie shepherd (show passed last October) feeding her. that's right, throwing food down, and my Father gives this bird WHATEVER it wants to eat except avocado and chocolate. When it wasn't throwing food down, my little girl was eating his POOP- because intermixed with his crap was t he food he'd throw down. I had to finally block it off. Then, my docile sweetie tried to bite the parrot-a lot-because he (gizzy) took a liking to both daughter and myself, so she was very angry. Not only that, my father said that bite on my daughter's cheek was a kiss, so she watched husband get bit up because the bird refused to get off of her shoulder. I finally got to the point where I had to add Cesar (sp) moist food to her kibble- which is Fromms- to get her to eat! I canNOT believe I resorted to feeding her that crap!!! Now she's refusing her kibble. after months of hard work. I need a vacation from my vacation. On the plus side, my whackadoodle adored flying. No sedation needed. |

| Interesting. I didn't give her a lot, just a half of a teaspoon. Enough to where my little stinker couldn't just lick it off the kibble- she had to eat kibble TO get the moist stuff. |

| Fromm has wet food but I thought she had food allergies? You can also soak her food it hot water and drain it to make it mushy like wet food.

| Nope- it wasn't fromms that was the wet food. . It was the cesars. I meant no offense to any body who feeds Cesars, i just don't quite trust it. She doesn't like the moist part, she likes eating tasty food. For some reason, she has decided kibble isn't. She means it, too, and she WILL go days without eating if I'd try to out-stubborn her. I listened to the vet once, and I let my husband talk me into it. Meaning saying if I didn't feed her what she wanted she'd eat. No, actually, she won't. I lasted three days, and I mean that- three days of no food but putting the kibble out. she would NOT touch it. I did training with her and gave her very of that. I made sure to give her the paste after day one, because I was frankly scared out of my mind. Right now I'm thanking my lucky stars I snapped a picture of her before she took her top knot out somewhat. She's just that stubborn. |

| The problem with food allergies is if your feeding a regular non prescription food it comes in contact with the other ingredients in the plant so its no truly free of all the other food processed in the same plant. Like humans allergic to peanuts can't eat anything that is made in a plant that also makes peanuts or things that contain peanuts. I didn't really realize that when Callie was first having her issues and tried "limited" ingredient foods and other meat type food but they still came in contact with the other ingredients and she still had the food allergy issues and we went on the prescription food and everything was fixed. Just something to keep in mind.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh my, this little Princess ! She has her own mind, doesn't she...lol??!! Honestly hon - I wouldn't even fret about feeding that Cesar's if it gets her to eat. I mean, if her allergies would do okay w/ it - and - if it got her to consistently eat by using some of it -- I'd use it. And then in the meantime if Cesars makes you uncomfortable, you could get some other one-off cans to sample like from Pet Club or something...? When Marcel was sick w/ giardia as a puppy, getting him to eat could be nearly impossible. One thing he would almost always eat was those little teensy mini hotdogs that you find in the toddler section - they come in little glass jars. I don't know how you feel about those - but I wonder if she'd like little pieces of those hotdogs on her super picky days....?

Oh my gosh!!! That's a great idea!! She'll eat those NO sweat. Thank you!! I'll try to get over the cesar issue, it's hard, but you're right, if she eats it, I should be happy she's eating. As usual, you have the best ideas. | |
