Roxy and Arrows didn't eat breakfast Monday morning. VERY out of the norm...especially for Arrows. He hasn't met a food that he doesn't like... or a food that doesn't agree with him.
Long story short, they would eat hit and miss and very small amounts.
I offered them all their favorites.
Different foods and/or proteins were offered for every meal.
I dusted their food with a crushed Vets Best tablet. Normally a for sure thing.
Dusted with cat nip.
I offered them canned ...even knowing it would be a for sure barf trigger for Roxy.
The best I could do was get them to eat a little every day.
Roxy went back to normal eating habits Wednesday evening, and has stayed on track.
Arrows went back to normal Thursday evening.
Just to be clear... if they had gone 48 hours eating absolutely nothing, they would have been at the vet right away. If they hadn't started to show
some improvement, they were going to the vet.
Hubby and I have picked our brains trying to figure out what the heck happened. What bothered those two and yet none of the others? They don't have the same habits...good or bad.
They don't sleep in the same places. They play different games. They get along, but they do their own thing 99% of the time.
The only thing we can come up with is food. We mixed up a batch on Sunday evening.
Everyone ate samples, as we were spooning food into freezer containers.
It was also fed on Monday morning for breakfast. The other 4 ate as normal.
Something in that batch of food must have made them sick. For whatever reasons, the others were able to tolerate it. That is our GUESS. I understand Roxy being more likely to have issues if a food is "off," just because of her previous tummy issues....but not Arrows.
Anyway, they are both totally back to normal. Eating habits, activity levels, etc. I'll be glad to get my psoriasis back under control now too.
