Tried the parmesan cheese (among other things) and that didn't work. I've tried 5 different brands of canned food so far and the evengers was the only one she ate, but that's what she turned her nose up at this morning. Same thing with kibble, tried a few different ones, found one she liked a few days ago and now today, no. I know alot of people "rotate" foods, which I'm ok with but every few days??
I just got her to eat some of the orijen and evenger's by literally sitting on the kitchen floor with it and when she walked away, I brought her back until finally she took a piece but wanted to walk away with it into the other room (not gonna work, my beagle or cat will take it from her and seriously, I'm not gonna follow her around the house for 20 minutes twice a day with a bowl of food in my hands and make sure the other pets don't get her food) so I had to keep blocking her to stay put. I got her to eat enough that way for now but it was a little rediculous and I can't keep doing that. It's "eat here and now" in this house or somebody else is gonna get it as soon as I'm not looking. Each pet eats in their own designated area and leave the other's alone but they all "eat up" when I give it, even the 2 cats. I stay right by Alice when I give her food so she doesn't follow me away from it and she's not bothered by the others while she's eating, but if she leaves it there, forget it, I have to take it up.
Idk, I'm really frustrated, I'm just gonna stick with the origen and rotate diffrent flavors of Evenger's and the days she won't eat i'll just give a tiny bit of nutri-cal just so I'm not worried about her blood sugar level and hopefully that will help and she will evenually in the day realize she has to eat what it give and that's the end of it.
