Last time Jewelina was sick she didn't want to eat so I started offering her all kinds of things she doesn't normally get like chicken, rice, pumpkin, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. Since then I've been letting her still eat the yogurt, pumpkin and cottage cheese to help build back up her immune system and I suppose it could be a coincedence but it seems like she is putting her weight that she lost back on faster and filling out a teeny bit!
I normally only feed her Canidae dry but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't keep letting her have "people" food on a daily basis since she's so tiny! I'd love for her to get to at least 2 1/2- 3 pounds so she'd be closer in size to Jaden and I was wondering if anyone else out there had noticed that by allowing them to eat more than just their regular kibble if it helped with gaining weight? We've tried all kinds of different treats and I free feed but I've not seen anything that has helped with her as much as this!
