Awhile ago, I posted about Marishka not eating any wet food. Like, at all. She stopped eating the wet kitten Iams on, oh, the fourth day. I tried Authority, with a little better results, but she would eat a bite or two and that's it. Eats a lot of dry food still though, so I was hoping it would help her gain weight.
She was spayed Tuesday, and slept most of the rest of the day. The next morning as I was getting ready for class she was looking better, but still sleepy (baggy eyes especially). But as I walked by her food (which I had brought up into the living room where she was recouperating) she started meowing like she was hungry. She downed a whole 3 oz. can! And another at lunch. And another before bed! This morning she is acting like her old self (the pain medication makes her tired, but she only had one more day of that left anyway), but ate almost a whole can at breakfast, and tonight ate almost another 3 oz. What has kicked her appetite into...well, normalcy? Can I expect this to be something that will continue? I would love for her to eat wet food primarily, but at this point, I'm anxious for her to get to a better weight.
Anyone experience something like this? I know that some cats gain weight after a spay, but not like, the next day
