I am feeding soup twice a day. I syringe-fed initially but she now willingly eats from a bowl. She also has dry kibble, as well as softened kibble, available 24/7, and she does eat. This is not a matter of her not wanting to eat. Her appetite is fine. The issue is that she is not absorbing what is going in.
My vet will mostly likely call today with her BW results so will discuss some suggestions I have received.
