Nottis is doing much better than three weeks ago. However, she's still not eating dry food which she previously ate almost exclusively. There's no apparent reason for this. She eats wet foods with good appetite, but she'd be better if she ate at least some dry food, because she would need special food for her tummy. She had her vet check today, and her thyroid values have improved a lot and we're continuing with the meds. Vet said she might need to go to the dentist to check if there's something wrong in her mouth, although she last met her only in April.
Aww, thanks for the update and very pleased to hear the values are improving, hopefully not too much tweaking needed.. I wonder, did Nottis feel sick before starting to get the thyroid issues on the mend? It's just when Lucy feels sick, she often won't eat a type of food, incorrectly blaming the food for her nausea. Wondering if a different type may help?
@blightygal She wasn't really sick throwing up but I think it might be something similar. She has dry food constantly available and she goes and sniffs it regularly but then turns away in disgust. Occasionally she eats a couple of kibbles. I've had six different kinds available to her but it's the same with everything. I've also tried different spots in the house, different cups. She might eat some once but it's never a constant change. Yesterday evening I had her eat quite a lot by giving a kibble at a time on floor. I'll try it again but I'm not optimistic. It's really a puzzle.
@katriak Just out of interest, what does being on a wet diet do to her tummy? Poor love if suffering. I am always pleased Lucy eats a lot of wet as she's not a drinker in the slightest.
@blightygal Wet food as such is not a problem but she needs fiber-rich food to help with constipation. There are some good medical dry foods that work for her. They have some wet food alternatives too but not very tasty according to cats.
