If I understand you correctly, you are feeding her
just 2 cubes of soup a day? And, she is eating a
little bit of her regular food? If this is
correct, I would feed her a lot more soup. When I
was hand-feeding Champ for many months, he got 2
cubes, 3 times a day. I work so I couldn't feed
him any more frequently than that. He was NOT
eating any other food on his own. Quantity could
be a problem.
Also, you can add some heavy whipping (not
whipped) cream to your soup. It has lots of
calories. I just add a dollop to each feeding of
soup.
Weigh Lucy every day or two so you an monitor her
weight. You can then adjust her feedings and
quantities accordingly.
I can't comment on your soup ingredients.
Everyone has their own recipe.
