Hello everyone,

Ginger is finally eating something. We got her some ferret treats that are chicken flavor and very stinky and she eat those just fine. So we grinded some treats and mixed them with Natural Choice cat food. At first she would search the bowl for larger chucks of the treats, but then she started to eat a few of the pieces of food. By the end of the next day, the bowl was empty. She has gained a little bit of weight and seems a little more up beat. Our next step is to slowly mix in 2 other types of food, so that we don't have this problem again.

Thanks for all your help!
