We adopted Emma almost a week ago. She's about 8 months old and weighs about 7.6 lbs.
She does not eat very much and what she does eat is almost all dry.
I've fed her the dry they gave us and Evo - she eats both. For wet, I tried the Triumph they gave us, Evo 95% and Wellness. She nibbles on dry throughout the day, eating about 1/4 or 1/2 a cup total. She tries wet when I put it out, but only licks off a bit and then no more. She drinks water.
Her behavior seems perfectly normal. After a day or two of excreting a very small amount of loose stool, she's producing more normal looking stool.
She sneezes every few hours. I'm guessing it's a normal adoption center cold (even though she was only in the adoption center a week or two). We have a vet appointment scheduled for next week.
1) Any suggestions for getting her to eat more?
2) Any suggestions for getting her to eat wet? I'm hesitant to take away the dry, for fear she will eat even less
3) I plan to go today to get a variety of flavors and brands. Should I stick to good stuff? I'm concerned that if I feed her Fancy Feast she won't eat other wet (on the other hand, even Fancy Feast is better than dry).
4) Am I worrying too much given the short amount of time we have her?
