Well today Zoe slept in (for the first time, it was great I got some sleep!) and has played and is now napping. But as of yet no interest in food. Listening to what everyone is saying this is my new approach: stick to one thing and stick to it!
She's being picky, possibly because she's a picky eater and possibly because I'm encouraging it with all the food options I've offered her. I need to be stubborn myself, stick to one thing and just wait until she caves.
I'm thinking I'll do plain kibble, maybe mix some water (maybe warm) and try to have her eat that. If she does eat it, then great! Otherwise I'll try to get some chicken in her system for some food. And nutrical at night to get some calories in her. It's not necessarily a worry of hypoglycemia, but more that she isn't taking in enough calories (let alone enough nutrients). (My fear is that by being stubborn and waiting for her to get hungry enough she will take in such a small amount of food she'll get sick. I'm worried about dehydration, though she does drink water, and starvation, though I know it's not full fledged that's still what it'd be...)
I don't really have a small pet store in town. There's two that I know of, but one has NONE of the good foods (I looked) and the other had no samples and was rather seedy. Not sure how else to get sample sizes of the good foods.... |
