So it’s a long story. But I will try to give a shorter version. Hoggle and Ludo were on marshals when baby’s, then switched to raw (grinds from hare today, my pet carnivore, and some instinct amount other things). I had tried franken prey and I had tried whole prey, neither worked well as neither would eat them:(. Hoggle would eat but I had to sit there and spoon feed her her meals. She did pretty well though. As situations changed over the years they also got freeze dried raw included and some canned (hounds and gato) mixed into the rotation. When I got pregnant with my second child, I had complications with my pregnancy and a lot of pain every day and couldn’t do much. I had switched them to a g.f limited ingredient diet for less than 9 months. They developed stones. I had no idea lentils would cause such a fast stone development, and I regret what has happened and am saddened greatly.. We lost Ludo because it was too late he became blocked and was trying to urinate and it was just straight blood by the time I figured out who it was that and a bit of blood in their urine... I switched foods immediately... then a week later Hoggle started to urinate blood. We got her surgery to remove the crazy amount of stones. She did well and has healed nicely. But since going back to our diet and now being alone and depressed.
She barely eats. She will take a few bites of raw and walk away, I leave it there for 24 hours and nothing. The hounds and gato she will eat half a meal, sometimes all if I’m lucky. The freeze dried raw (Stella and Chewys cat) she will only eat dry, won’t touch it if it’s wet. She loves origin freeze dried treats, but that is not meal I tell her! She is now starting to loose weight, she is only 1lb and a few ounces, and now a bit less. Probably about 1 lb. I’ve tried different raws, I’ve tried different ways to feed her... but she is making me worried at this point. She’s 3 1/2 years old. I don’t know what to feed her. She also can’t have chicken. She’s super picky but it’s leading to her weight dropping at this point. Any suggestions? I’ve tried soupy, she won’t really eat it anymore. I know if I gave her kibble she’d probably eat it... don’t know why that stuff is like crack to them...

and they like being finger fed. I heat up an empty saucer in microwave. I also put a little water on it ---it will heat up faster. After heating, I stir soupie around on the plate and get it all warm. Then I finger feed. Only my male will eat lamb without it being a soupie and it has to be chips. My girls want warm lamb soupie.
