hmmmm wonder what it was about that chicken that got him to gobble it up....and what could mimic that taste, smell, texture, but with less fat......there has got to be something.......with all the special ways foods are made for all sorts of diets, to all taste like something else.........
Can Scoop have carbs? If so, I would try pasta, potatoes, oats, and some cereals (like cheerios). Hope Scoop's appetite picks up soon.
Vicki:
I realize the gravity of your situation, and just want to support you. I think of you and Scoop all through out the day. May he get a miracle from God. I am so worried about both of you, and what this has to be doing to your state of mind Vicki. God Bless You Both I am praying for you.

Sending hugs and praying for you and Scoop, hope he starts eating better soon and gets some weight back on him...
Vicki, this is going to sound nuts but when Daisy recently refused food I literally dizzled the gravy from Gracie's wet cat food (just five drops or so) and she gobbled it all up. I can't think of the name of the food, it costs $1.19 a can and has all natural ingredients and each can has its own cover.
Might be worth a try.
Hope Scoop feels better!
Hmmm I saw cat soup just recently, I wonder if a wee drizzle of that would be tasty for Scoop. Pancreatitis is such an awful thing to deal with. Hope Scoop is feeling better today xx
thinking of you 2...... <3 patty (milo)meka xoxox

Thanks everyone. So hard coming on here lately. It's hard dealing with Scoop's eating issues. It just makes me so sad.
Valerie, funny you mentioned about the cat food. When I had Scoop to the vet the other week, the tech gave him some Pounce cat treats. He loves those things, at least right now he does.
Trish, you mentioned pancreatitis. The vet never called it that but I wondered if that's what he has. Would you say that's it's pancreatitis? She said he should be on a low fat diet. I said, that will never happen with how he's eating.
She stopped all his meds except his insulin since Thursday to see if that would help his eating and he is taking an appetite stimulant. It helped just a slight bit. He eats a small amount of dog food but I have to try to see which one he wants. I usually have several different ones open at once. Good thing Raleigh will eat the ones Scoop doesn't. He'll eat a bit of it then that's it. He won't take any more. Sometimes he will eat something after that but not dog food. It's throwing his BG's out of wack with his diabetes. I give him something to eat when he will eat.
Scoop's diarrhea has not improved. He was on Tylan for about a week and a half and had just started Baytril and Tramadol a coupe days before she said to stop all meds.This is so upsetting and frustrating.
Does anyone know how long he can be off his Vetoryl without causing any problems?
Thanks for checking up on my Scoop.
if he isn't having cushings symptoms I wouldn't sweat the vetoryl. All vetoryl does is treat the symptoms. I know it leaves their bodies faster than Lysodren.
I'm so sorry he is having these continuous problems. hugs, Judi
