The good stuff? Bella has been on WD dry until her visit to the vet w/ liver problems. They fed WD canned and a little dry so she would eat (liver problems stopped her from eating at all), and she ate ok there (was on IV fluids too).
While she was at the vet I researched and Vet agreed to a natural 1 protein source diet. We tried IVD rabbit/peas that she ate a couple of times, but now wont touch. Thinking it was the peas, tired NV prairie rabbit (since its 95% rabbit) but she ate 3 bites and no more. I tried mixing with WD and 1 bite. Tried putting in WD & Rabbit in 2 different bowls. Nothing. Got her to eat 1/4 can of WD by feeding her in my bed directly out of the CAN. ??!?!
Wondering if she is irritated because just got home from vet (after 1wk on IV fluids) and is still on alot of meds (antibotics, liver meds, etc). She is getting better so I am happy to feed her WD just so she eats. Soon though she needs a healthier canned since her IBD doesnt do well with canned WD.
Anyone to help? Should I assume its the rabbit and try other meats or formulas? Any ideas about how to switch to a healthier diet? (She wouldnt eat the WD if it was next to the rabbit in another bowl! -- PICKY!!)
