Since you have to fatten her up some, have you thought about giving her a spoonful of some canned food, or maybe some cottage cheese or yogurt? |
I actually talked to doc about giving her some canned food and he said no. when we first got her, she wouldn't eat hardly at ALL. I finally broke down and got her some canned food and mixed it with her kibble and she finally ate a few bites & eventually got to where she'd eat all the canned food I'd put in her dish, but not the kibble :-( I had to start hand feeding her and eventually she did start eating kibble, but it was VERY slow going. Finally she got to where she'd eat on her own, but only if I was right there beside her. Doc says now that I have her finally eating kibble, giving her canned food again would more than likely make her revert back to only eating canned food (he isn't crazy about that and neither am I.) Her last visit to the vet, she had gained a pound and I was SO EXCITED about it
SO I figure as long as I keep doing what I'm doing now, she'll gain. Hopefully for more comfy she gets with us, the better she'll do.
