Hello all!!
Sorry we have been MIA. Billie is doing well!! She loves playing in her new apartment. Tonight, we had a couple friends over for dinner, and she sat in a chair at the table watching us eat for a good half hour. Very polite yet very much like a vulture at the same time. Based on tonight's hideous PMPS, I'm pretty sure she got some contraband. DBF and I are always careful not to drop anything but our guests may not have been careful enough. DBF made a dish with puff pastry which was super flaky, and I'm thinking some ended up on the floor. Contraband aside, I am thinking a dosecrease is coming. Billie has been hitting green but with nadirs in the 80s and 90s and higher PS numbers than I want to see. I still have to update her SS but I am just starting from where we are for now.
On the subject of food...I am trying something new that feels a little controversial but is going incredibly well so far. I had been having trouble getting Billie to eat her cat food. She would eat all the chicken and lunch meat turkey she could get her paws on. When her appy is really off, it's a struggle to get her to eat anything, so I don't think it was an appy issue this time. She just wasn't interested in any of her cat food options. Aversion, maybe. At this point, I really have tried every LC canned food the store carries...no exaggeration!
So...I got a sample of Young Again Mature Zero Carb (which I know is LC but not really zero). She loved it. So, I ordered a bag. She really, really loves it. She's still getting FF and Tiki Cat meals throughout the day and her raw goat's milk, and I am leaving the dry food out for her to free feed. Overall, she is eating way better. She had a couple iffy new food poos initially, but now her poos are significantly better/more regular. And it has only been maybe 10 days, but she gained a few ounces back, which is great, because she is still a bit underweight. I know there are a lot of good arguments against dry food even if it's YA, but it's working for Billie. She was a major dry food addict before FD, so maybe this is just her preference. She also prefers people food, so I'm also looking into some home cooked recipes to try (like this one http://www.dinnerpawsible.com/wordpress/sample-recipes/)
I hope everyone is doing well!! Sending vines all around.
