we adopted a special needs baby whose make 8 weeks old? maybe a little older, nobody really knows for sure. anyways, we've had her for two weeks and she's not really eating many veggies or fruits. she gets alfalfa pellets and timothy hay (won't touch alfalfa hay) from oxbow and i've also been giving her critical care as she has one of her hind legs amputated before we adopted her. i've tried giving her all sorts of fruits and veggies and all she'll eat are baby carrots and lettuce. any suggestions on how to encourage her to eat them? i've tried mashing/blending them in with her critical care and she won't touch it. she does get one oxbow vitamin c tablet a day (which oddly, she LOVES those). its kind of frustrating that she won't eat anything.
she's also underweight still (i can feel her spine pretty easily :/ ), so wondering what veggies will be best for helping with that also. i'm going to call our vet tomorrow and see if i can get her in this week for a check up to look at her incision and make sure everything else is all good with her.
here's a picture of our adorable little mocha we love her to pieces already, she is such a little snuggle bug <3
