Since Mazy's regurgitation problem seems to be getting worse, I thought I would try the elevated food dish method recommended here.
It's not a scarf and barf because she is schedule fed and each serving is carefully measured out. The food is just not getting down into her tummy as quickly as it should.
So I found a box that seemed like a good height, it is just at chest level so she doesn't have to change position at all to eat.
Instead she scoops the kibble out onto the floor and eats it crouching down anyway.
(actually she eats that way quite often, I was simply hoping she would scoop them out and eat them from the top of the box instead)
I'm persevering though, hoping she'll get used to it. This morning she tried standing on the box, instead. I pushed it to the edge, and she did eat part of the meal in the manner I am hoping will help her.
