Regarding Sasha...for the time being, discontinue using the K/D diet. Sahsa may have been eating it as a novelty but he isn't that keen about it. he only ate a piece the size of a quarter out of this morning's portion and would squint at his plate when I'd show him his second serving.
However, when I opened up a fresh can of Performatrin Ultra Chicken Stew; Sasha ate it straight out of the can (agreed not the whole can: the gravy and top layer of chicken pieces).
Says the Vet: "Better a Sasha on Performatrin Ultra who eats than a Sasha on the K/D diet who won't eat". We're talking about a 3.5% difference in crude protein (off the top of my head 10% for the Performatrin vs 6.5% for the K/D ... still a lot lower than the K/D dry) and Sasha likes it so...that's what I'll do.
The Vet was mentioning perhaps Hospitalizing Sasha should he be constipated, but did say that it's normal if he was eating so little that he didn't have enough bulk built up in his intestines to form a stool.
He's had BM's Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday morning...things might step up once he's back on his regular wet food; and this time I'll skip adding Glucosamine or Vitamin supplement powder to it: he smells it in the food and won't eat it!
I'm worried about my little buddy but I'm not giving up!
