Forget eating....

Dock's appetite appears to be the next obstacle at this point.   I would put Mace's food down first, then Dock would follow me into her room to eat so Mace wouldn't bother her.  Now, when I put down Mace's food, she sits there and looks at his bowl, and even tries to hop in to take some.  I have had to entice her, or even pick her up to take her in for her breakfast.  Maybe it's because I have to shove a pill and 2 liquids down her mouth every morning that she's not too happy about following me.  But once she gets her meds, she usually eats a few mouthfuls nicely, but can leave any where from 1/3 to 3/4 of her breakfast.  I put the food away, and will reheat it later.  This is not always possible though.  So for now, I will continue to feed the Diva how ever she will eat and will watch her weight.  The vet may believe that the meningioma may be affecting her hunger center, so instead of eating what she needs to for the day, the hunger is gone, so she thinks she is done.  Oh well, we'll see where we go from here.  I've been thinking for a while that we won't have too much longer with her, but she's a stubborn one.  She'll kick around for a while yet I'm sure.
