Coco's teething has hurt so much that she can't really eat from her food bowl anymore. She'll eat out of our hands but not when the food is in her bowl. She's lost an ounce in a few days just because she hasn't eaten much. We finally figured out the problem was that the food was too hard for her (since many of her teeth have fallen out and she is waiting for the new ones to come in.) The solution was to do what you do for elderly people: make the food softer and easier to chew. With just a few sprinkles of water the kibble instantly became easier to eat for her and she kept craving more food. I fed her her normal ration of food this morning and she kept looking up at the bag of food wanting me to feed her more from it.
I'm glad she's eating again and hopefully won't continue on this downward trend of losing weight -- she isn't that fat.
At 5 months old she weighs 4 lbs 14 oz
