If you use pumpkin, it is only a very small amount such as 1/2 tsp. twice a day! I had given too much and it does not set well with them! I will do the ID food too or just brown rice and a little bit of yogurt too and that will settle their tummies! Good luck!
Exactly!!! Thank goodness, Zoe and I aren't the only ones AND I'm actually doing the right thing then! Yeah, the Metro is refrigerated. She was prescribed .25cc 2 times a day so that's what I'll do this time around if there's no improvement by bed tonight. Zoe's lucked out a bit as I'm making pumpkin muffins tonight, so my measure is the tiny bit that's on the can top is for her to lick off. There's no way, even with 3 can tops, that she could have very much, let alone more than 1/2 tsp! All the same, thanks for that since everyone says pumpkin but no one says how much pumpkin!

Anyway, Zoe's now snuggling against me (my cooking be damned) and doing okay. (Though no luck on the poop end, in fact she pooped on me a few hours ago! Poor thing groaned and couldn't keep it in any longer.)

Anyway, thank you all again for all of the advise, it means so much!

-Vicky and Zoe
