Ok, her #s are starting to up again. I know I've changed her eating pattern yesterday to 1/2 can 2x a day with no snack between breffis and dinner (I snuck in a small snack at lunchtime) and then gave her 1.0 oz. of raw turkey cutlet (unbreaded). This morning, I decided to switch back to 1/3 can morning, and evening, but I'll divide the remaining 1/3 into 1/2 for between meals morning and evening, and before bedtime. This morning, along with the 1/3 can, I gave her 0.60 oz. of raw poultry. I'm not 100% sure if she really needs to lose the weight, though. I weighed her yesterday, twice, and the first time it showed she was at 10 lbs., and the second time it showed her being about 11 lbs.
Question(s): Should I be feeding snacks between meals? Should I be feeling a bit of spine instead of it being covered? Since I'm giving her 1 can FF T&G a day, how much raw poultry should I be feeding along with 1/3 can, and the 1/3 that's divided for between meals and bedtime?
I'm having difficulty with this. I thought I was getting somewhere, but now it seems that she's starting to go backwards a bit. I know that FF T&G is 97 calories a can with 3 carbs, whereas the EVO 95% Chicken & Turkey is 200something, but with 0 carbs. Thought I was going to switch her food to the EVO, however, with the amount of calories, and the lack of activity as it is, not sure about it now. Initially, I was giving her 1/3 can 4x a day, with about 0.80 oz. of raw poultry, but I've scaled back on both to try and reduce her weight by at least a pound. Was that a good choice on my part?
The insulin vial that I opened had the top on it still and it expires 07/11. So, I don't think it's that (yet).
Any suggestions would be extremely helpful right now, and very appreciated. Thank you in advance.
MY WISH: For God to continue to help those in Japan with their situation, and to comfort those who have lost loved ones in the disaster... For God to continue to heal the broken hearts of those on here who recently lost a beloved pet and/or human... For God to continue to give Sienne's sister and her family strength as she undergoes treatment, and make a full and speedy recovery... For everyone to have great #s today... For everyone to be OTJ one day... For God to help me with getting Blackie to better #s.
