KEEPING THAT TUMMY FULL

Today was the first day of Happi with the new regime.  She was not happy. She does not like getting all her food at one time.  She is used to getting fed her food twice a day.  Today she got fed 2/3 her food in the morning.  Some more food at lunch time.  About 2/3 her regular dinner food and she will get more food at bedtime.  You are probably asking why? 

The theory is that she gets a empty tummy and it hurts her.  Then she chatters her teeth.  Teeth chattering can be a sign of pain.  It has taken me a long time to convince the vet that her teeth chattering is not just an "old age" thing.  Today I noticed a significant decrease in teeth chattering.  I did notice a bit of whining that she was hungry at certain times.  I keep laughing that Happi keeps wanting to eat earlier and earlier with the time change and with it getting darker earlier.  Today she wanted to eat at 2:30pm.  I think she is retired!  Living in a retirement community and eating dinner for lunch. Getting the early bird special.

This is a test and we will see how she is after a few days.   The idea is to keep her tummy full most of the time.

Until tomorrow...
