If yes, she may need to see the vet again.

Constant hungry, especially if she is losing weight, could mean there is something going on like Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency.

Ellie gets homecooked and she would constantly eat if I let her...
Roxy weighs about 8 pounds- she actually didn't loose any weight while she was sick. She was eating ground turkey instead of chicken breast for protein before. About the same amount. Maybe the chicken breast is not as heavy or filling as the ground turkey. I think I'll call the vet tomorrow and see if she will ease my concerns via telephone. Thanks for speedy response!
