| Does she eat hard or soft food? How many ounces does she drink per day? How much does she weigh?

| She should be drinking about 2.6 per day (give or take some) then. That is just over 1/4 cup. If raw has anywhere neat the moisture content of wet food, that would explain it. Ellie eats homecooked (wet) and doesn't drink much at all.

| Punkin eats home cooked and hardly ever drinks. Mostly we see her drink in the summer when its really warm. I think its been weeks since I've seen her take a sip. She pees 4-5 times a day at least. I some times add a few drops of water to her meals to give her a bit more moisture. I would expect that a raw diet has a lot of water in it. |
