I am so thankful for this site, and grateful that everyone is so eager to help! I hope that you don't get tired of my numerous questions! I seem to have things come up when my vet isn't open and since it isn't an emergency, I don't want to take her to an animal hospital.
A while ago I posted about Scarlett throwing up after she ate. I got some great advice from everyone here! She was eating too fast and her food didn't even get down when it came back up. We ended up feeding her more times per day, which helped. She was growing a lot and so she also needed to be fed more food. I slowly introduced more food into her meals she was already eating so that she was getting the recommended amount for her size and age. This was working great for a while! She didn't seem to be starving at meal times, but she always ate.
The last few days is where we have run into a problem. She doesn't seem to want to eat. Some meals we have to leave it in the bowl for a while, and bring her attention to it, and then she will eat. Last night she didn't eat her dinner at all. I left out the bowl thinking that she would eventually eat, but she didn't.
If she only eats twice a day, I don't think that she is getting enough food for her growing little body. She seems to be drinking a normal amount, and she is still playing and running around - which is why I'm not overly concerned. Has this happened to any of you? Is this just her way of telling us that she doesn't need as much food as we are giving her?
Thank you for reading, and for your help! Sorry for asking silly questions, but I worry about my baby!
