Just when I got excited about chicken feet at my supermarket this happens...
I moved last Saturday, and things were okay. Lox is not herself, but that was expected. I moved her to the new location after everything was moved to the new place. She was confined to a room with her litter box, scratcher, cave, and food before and afterwards. Things were going pretty okay considering everything. She stopped becoming ravenous about food, but she was eating properly and using the box fine. She just seemed more cautious about everything than usual. However, she's been a lot more affectionate towards me.
Then comes today. Fireworks. Lots of it. Air horns, lots of those too. We also had maintenance come today, ugh. So today I fed two of my raw meals (breakfast and lunch), sprinkled with bonito flakes. No problem. She eats slower but like I said earlier- it was expected. Tonight though, she didn't try to eat her meal at all. Even with toppers. She would eat some freeze-dried chicken out of my hand but not a lot of it.
Immediately, I rush to the nearest convenience store and get some Fancy Feast and chicken baby food. I give her a teaspoon of the Fancy Feast and she eats it. Later on, I mixed some raw with the Fancy Feast but she was having none of it. I also gave her a spoon full of baby food- She lapped that up, but the second spoon full she was done.
I left her some Fancy Feast in the [open] closet, so she can eat some later. She's sleeping right now on top of the bed next to me.
What can I do to get her to keep eating? I'm thinking keep feeding her stinky canned cat McDonalds and eventually mixing her raw grounds again.
Feliway is coming in a day or two, and I'll be getting Rescue Remedy tomorrow first thing.
I do have to take her to the vet during the next two months for boosters- I am worried though because Lox has already gone through a lot of stress as it is.
Any suggestions besides the ones I mentioned? Guh.
