So we let Diva out last night and she didn't want to have anything to do with her food because she seemed too interested in exploring her old haunts. So, I grabbed her and put her and her food bowl back in the guest room so she could concentrate on at least eating her A/D with epakitin in it. She complied, at least I can say that.
I daresay she probably didn't get much kibble down her gullet last night because she was so distracted and Ra is a kibble eating fiend and probably ate most if not all of her kibble because of it. :(
So this morning after she got her fluids I figured she'd be hungry enough to want to camp out in front of her bowl for at least a little while and eat. Not so lucky there. She just sniffed at it and wandered off, allowing Ra the opening to get her food. I picked her up and put her back in front of her bowl. Much bitching ensued and she walked away.
Le sigh. So I did what I did last night. She's in the guest room again with her bowls, at least for a couple of hours until I can see she's eaten something. So far she's eaten some of her food--about 1/8 to 1/4 of it. I can accept that, but would like to see more before I let her out and refill the bowls out in the rest of the house. I'll be heading back in there so she doesn't take it as a punishment, further complicating things.
I just don't know about this switch to constant feed business. Ra is going to gain so much weight until he gets used to the switch over it's not even funny, and he's probably a little over ideal weight now. The sucky part is it's the way Diva and Jazz prefer eating and it's the only way I'll get them to eat consistently. ARGH!!!
