We’re not on the hyperthyroid meds yet. I have some hope that those tiny pills will go down easier, but I dunno.
These are antibiotics, and they’re large “flavored” pills she’s theoretically supposed to not object to. But, even soaked in tuna water and covered in fish oil, she just licks them off and won’t eat them. So I have a feeling that flavored pills won’t do it for her.
She’s not exactly picky, but– she won’t even eat cat treats reliably, she just isn’t very adventurous.
She’s currently on hunger strike entirely, it seems; her bowl is full of crunchies, but coincidentally it’s a new kind– we buy the 3.5-lb bags, and each time, Dude buys a different kind, rotating through three different flavors, because she seems to like a change now and then. (He does the grocery shopping more often than me; I would not have done the same in his place but he’s here more, he’s sort of in charge of her food, I didn’t think to question him.) But we’re not sure she’s had this one before. She’s never objected to new crunchies before, but the bowl is sitting there untouched and she’s spent the day yelling at us.
Is it the antibiotics making her lose her appetite, or is she sincerely telling us that this new food is Unacceptable?
Either way it’s really unfortunate timing, I feel like if it were me I would not have opened that bag but would have gone out and gotten another of the one she’s used to, but. It wasn’t up to me, and I didn’t forsee a problem either.
Oy. Cats. No big deal, until they are.
