I haven't made a condo in so long...just don't have the time in the morning these days & by the time I do the day is nearly done. Might have to start writing it down and just doing it at work! ;-)
Kazi and I have had a very...frustrating morning and past few days. Ever since we had to switch from the Special Kitty getting her to eat has been a chore most days. I KNOW she liked the chicken classic as she ate it 3 times with enthusiasm...now she turns her nose up at it. Same with the beef. She snubbed the Merrick BG line...and the Instinct food flat out. This morning she ate MAYBE an oz of the FF despite numerous sprinklings of Fortiflora and Chicken dust. I grabbed my last can of SK and with two generous sprinklings of Fortiflora she ate 1.5 oz or so...roughly 2/3 of the half of the 5.5oz can I gave her.
Her numbers had been running a bit high - and I increased her dose a smidge. Then we had to switch to the FF which is roughly twice the carb content of her previous food. I *hope* that the combination of the two caused her numbers to go up even further. Friday morning she was 303 that is UNHEARD of for her. I very nearly went to the vet that morning...but decided to increase her dose instead and see what played out. I am seeing some normal/higher numbers in the morning...and still the low 200s at PMPS.
I am frustrated. I yelled at her this morning which didn't help anything. :sad: I saw that the Special Kitty is back with a "new formula" so I suppose I will go get a couple cans of that and see if she'll eat it. She has never been a big eater but the last few days have been ridiculous. It is taking me 30-45 minutes to get her to eat her breakfast/dinner. Snacks we usually have better luck with...yesterday she ate all of both of her snacks of the Tuna flavor of FF. I just don't know if something is wrong or if she has decided she has had enough of the food she "doesn't like".
I have an event tonight and my Mom was supposed to feed and shoot for me. Now I don't even know if she'll be able to do that with the way things have been going. I could honestly just cry right now.
