My sugar Bean only weights 8.15 lbs (mommy has a new baby scale). She is picking at her food like no other, but her numbers are in the 60's! I am having to add tuna water or fora flora to almost all of her food. She goes up to it, takes a couple of licks and basically walks off. She also gets whiskas perfectly fish - small amount every am and pm....we also do petco tuna flakes (when she is offered this, she acts like she is starving). I dont think she eats a 3 oz can in a day. She is getting offered f.feast, and friskies right now. She doesnt seem crazy about any of these or anything else that I have offered in the past: evo, merric, 9 lives, special kitty, sophisticat, wellness and raw food - primal and Natures variety.

I have printed the food chart, highlited all 10 and under carb food with 186 calories or above. I plan to do some varible food shopping this week end.... She does not look all that great in the weight department. Her little sides are sunk in and her legs look so skinny.

My question of the day is should I be more worried about the calories or the protein, or fat??? not for sure really. I thought of the calories but then thought I would throw this out there and get some advise.... My outside feral crew will probably get fed very well next week from all of the food she will turn down. But if I can get her to eat something for a while, even with fora flora or tuna water, then maybe it will jump her back into eating!

Thanks in advance for helping my Sugar Bean Girl!
 
I can't answer your question but KT was doing the same thing for about 2 weeks until I hit on the right wet - FF beef/chicken pate. Now he's amazing me - he eats 2 cans a day. 3/4ths can early am, 1/4th can snack 2-3pm and most/all of the other can about 6pm. I think your trying lots of different ones is good....
 
ty - When I buy their food, I get 6 of each and swich out all the time...seems that they get tired of the same ol same ol, all except my picky picky slappy girl.... Bean just doesnt seem interested in food really...she is eating but not what she should and not without coaxing her, with additives or constantly putting her back in front of the bowl...which sometimes she will eat a bit more and sometimes just walks off!
sooo worried so any information is extremely helpful
 
just purchased some s/o from vet, was there getting slappy's a/d.... used my magic bullet and Sugar Bean ate 1/2 of it!!!!! is more than she has eaten at one time in a while.... I love my magic bullet... I got home and the food was in chunks...BIG NOT IN OUR HOME... But after the bullet treatment, she did just fine! Only 4 carbs and 200 calories. I am soooo just glad she ate. ;-)
