Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Can she tolerate calorie-dense foods like bits of cheese or peanut butter? If so, I'd give a little of that. Otherwise, there is a canned food from the vet by Science Diet that is formulated for gaining weight/stimulating appetite. Can't recall what's it's called.

| What exactly are you feeding her? Dry kibble or canned food? If you are feeding dry, you might soften it with by adding some boiled chicken and broth, or try giving her baby food or other soft food. Since she just had some teeth removed this might be easier for her, and a little appetizing. Some people find that adding a little Parmesan cheese to their food makes it more appetizing, especially with picky eaters.
