My Violet is so fat, and she is a small framed girl. Recently, we had to go to the ER and I spent 1600 dollars because she was so constipated she needed numerous overnight enemas to get her unblocked.
She is constantly crying for food, and I feed her separate from the other cats so she stays out of their bowls. She not only eats food, but she eats the fringes of my rugs, dental floss, and the latest, the elastic ear straps off my blue covid mask. Fortunately, we have not had any problems from eating these things, but I know there is a risk of her getting it wrapped around her intestines, and one time I did have to pull a piece of dental floss that was hanging out of her behind, very slowly out.
I feed her and the others a small scoop of dry mixed with a half small can of wet twice a day. If I am not careful and leave the others dishes on the floor, she will scarf them up. I have to pick up all leftovers until later at night when they finish them.
I just read an article to stop all dry food altogether.
I just don't know what to feed her, everyone else with the same diet, is normal weight. Maybe a little over, thick, not thin cats. She is so fat, she cannot clean her bottom, or jump up on high spots. Any suggestions out there/ She needs to lose at least 4 pounds. thanks.
