Hello PHKitkat -

Here is an update - I did get some 1st Stage Baby food - beef and gravy and cooked her up some chicken and used the baby food to "gravy it up". The main problem is she is holding out for canned food - yet that gives her the runs. I do see her eating dry food from time to time - but she really wants the canned food.

So far so good - she loves the baby food and actaully ate all her chicken this morning. She will lick all the "gravy" off the chicken and over the course of a couple of hours keep visiting the chicken until it is all gone. Hopefully the baby food will keep her eating and she won't turn finicky again.

And all of this odd behavior - her eating habits and hanging out by the water bowl - was going on before I took her to the vet. And with the water - it's not that she is drinking a lot - she just wants to stay by the bowl. I work out of the home so I am able to monitor how much she is eating and drinking. So far today - she ate all her breakfast.

Thanks
Kecia
