Love Picky eater

I hope you just have a picky eater and not something more serious. The fact that she does not gain weight is an issue though. I believe there is a blood test they can do to start investigating the liver.
Hi Gracielove...Did your baby just grow out of it? How old is she now? Did she have sugar lows when very young? How much did she weigh when you got her and at what age was that? Sorry about all the questions

While Hollee is so small, my vet said he hesitates to take blood as her little veins are so tiny. I hope she is coming right as she seems to have stabilised and I'm terrified my vet will start talking Liver Shunt again.Ax
