How's she doing?

 

Eating everything I put I front of her!  Showing more interest in playing but not quite up to usual yet. I did get some video of some of her favorite games, before I reduced the dose again. I can't remember if you can view videos but I can post them here if you can.

You may remember the canned food I feed her has been discontinued. I have enough to take us through September then that's it.  So far the only food I have found to replace it is Ziwi Peak.  I had been giving her a small portion of this periodically, and lately have been using it for her bedtime meal every night. She eats it, but has passed some very hard stool overnight. That is not a good sign, but of course I can't be sure it is the ZWP causing it, more experimenting will be needed.

She still gets her raw meal in the morning. Then canned at supper time, usually a bit of 'extra' when I have my supper, she'll either have some of my chicken, or if I'm not having something I can share with her she gets a few pieces of plain raw chicken.

And bedtime is the ZWP.  There are variations, once a week she gets a cooked meal (I make a cooked batch of mostly pork, with a little chicken in it, and freeze it into meal portions in it's broth) instead of the ZWP, and once a week she gets Meat Mates freeze dried raw for her supper meal in place of the canned.

She won't eat either of those meals more than once a week.

Also..something I forget until she starts doing it again.  I am so thrilled to see her sit and have a good face wash like a normal cat after she eats, instead of that awful crouch.

 

We're going back to 0.2 and keeping her on it. No more yo-yo.

Today has been the worst day, she's just crouching around the house. I hate that crouch.

     she's back to herself quickly!

 

Clearly, she needs the slightly higher dose.  Hopefully the vet will agree.
