Changed Buffy's Food
Back in January the vet put Buffy on prescription food due to a bladder
stone. I was quite surprised to find she absolutely loved it and it resolved that issue. But since she hasn't been eating due to the tumor in her jaw I said to heck with the prescription food and dished up some Sheba wet food instead. I was afraid it might upset her stomach but it didn't. She's on her third helping! I'm so relieved she's eating. Tomorrow morning I'll give her some of the Rx food again. If she turns her nose up I'll mix it with some of the Sheba. I want her to be as comfortable as possible and how can she be possibly be comfortable when she's hungry? [Rhetorical question.] Jill |

[Rhetorical question.] Jill Yes, sometimes you have to. You could try the Rx but in soft if you've been using kibble type? This is why Daisy-chan was so often on Fancy Feast. As long as I checked th cans and had only the grain free ones, she was happy and would eat. Daisy-chan passed at age estimated 25. An amazing life from full on feral, to domesticated (mostly). |

[Rhetorical question.] Jill It's good news that she's eating. Maybe, although she liked the prescription food she's associating it with being ill. Whatever the reason she does need to eat and it must make her feel more comfortable. Hopefully she'll eat the Rx food in the Sheba. Purrs that she does. Hugs Judith She ate the Rx food mixed with Sheba and is now back to eating the Rx food exclusively. Perhaps she did associate it with being ill. At least I know her stomach will tolerate the Sheba if need be to encourage her to eat. Jill |

[Rhetorical question.] Jill Yes, sometimes you have to. You could try the Rx but in soft if you've been using kibble type? She has been eating almost exclusively canned Rx food since she had the tooth extractions although she did eat a bit of the try kibble too once her mouth healed up. Now I put some kibble in a bowl but she's ignoring it due to the tumor in he jaw. Jill This is why Daisy-chan was so often on Fancy Feast.
