Feeding Sake

I am so discouraged with feeding Sake. She has lost a lot of weight and is not grooming herself well, so I know she does not feel well. A trip to the vet is non-productive, because they cannot examine her.  I have tried so many things to feed her: Chicken, which was okay for a while, when she got tired of liver.  Alternating chicken and liver.  Sardines. Ham. Scrambled egg. I have discovered she does not like cold food, so warming the chicken or liver helps.  Small bits are better.  And, quite by accident, I discovered she likes gravy food.  And, for years, she did not like mashed liver, but now she does. But every once in a while, she wants dry food.

I purchased some gravy foods and she ate well tonight. I also purchased baby food chicken which I will try out.   I think the trick is to keep a variety available, and offer her a second option of what she likes, if she rejects the first.
