This set off some warning bells for me-- when Amelia acted this way, it was
because an ulcer had developed, and she didn't want to eat because of the
pain. I had also coincidentally opened a new bag of food and lost some
valuable time thinking that it was just because of the new bag that she
wasn't eating. I would seriously think about the possiblity of ulcers in
your guys and talk to your vet about it. Maybe I'm being a worrywort, but I
learned the hard way that ulcers can be very serious business and I don't
want to see others have to go through the same lesson.

best wishes,
Regina

So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
