Hi Lisa, sorry about your girl being sick, it’s very hard to watch them suffer, lose weight & not eat, you feel so helpless, just be there for her & she’ll come good again, Just make sure you keep an eye on her after she has taken medications? keep a diary so you can tell vet if needed, some meds can make you not want to eat & feel sick… if the vet asks questions it’s written in the diary……
When your cooking the cooking smells can make you feel hungry, but cooking smells can also make you feel sick as well….When your cooking does she come into the kitchen & smell what’s cooking? I boil either pumkin or sweet potato freeze sections & mix with foods, pumkin & sweet potato is sweet mash 1-2 spoons thru a meal… make sure the meats you pick are very lean, low in fat especially if she has had acid reflux… I was buying turkey 99% fat free grounded mince, adding a whisked egg & a bit of finally chopped parsley & making small ball rissoles, baking on baking tray in oven, when 1/2 cooked take out & drain & turn over the small rissole balls they cook quickly….You can freeze them & take out as you need them & can add pills in centre….also baked chicken is another favorite for dogs & cats…Freshly cooked BBQ chickens sell cheap at the local supermarkets also the smell will make you come, just don’t feed the chicken skin…keep us posted how’s she’s doing.
