I had 4 sisters.
One had rectal prolapse a number of times.
The vet didn't tell me that it was likely to
recur and I didn't have any aftercare instructions
for her. It happened again about a year later and
we couldn't catch her... she died
Now, another of the sisters - Sashi - had the same
thing happen.
We were instructed to put her on a wet food diet.
All of the cats ate the same dry cat food for 3 years...
never fussed or complained.
Now, Sashi will gobble down a bowl full - when I first
open a can. Then, the rest of the day, she turns up
her nose... looks at me... walks over to the dry food
bowl ... looks at me again... meows .. and, if I don't
do anything... she begins to eat the dry food...
We have 12 cats - rescues - and can't afford to feed
everyone the wet food.. so have to keep bowls of
dry around the house.
Any suggestions on how to keep Sashi interested
in her wet food? It would break my heart if she
prolapsed again.
She's a manipulative little cat and I know it... love
her anyway.
your suggestions will be much appreciated
