Ok, Bubbles (aka Baby Love) is super skinny.  I hadn't noticed just
how skinny she was until Wes pointed it out when I picked her up after
Christmas vacation.  Her coat is soft and shiny.  Her appetite is good.
She was getting pushed out of the food dish before, but now she has a
dish of her own and I make sure she gets all she wants to eat.  There
is food left in the dishes every day, so I know she's not going hungry.
The thing is, she's lost even more weight since I got her home a week
ago.  She plays normally and seems just fine other than that.  I want
to put her on duck soup, but so far she won't eat anything other than
kibble and ferretvite.  (which I am giving her every day, about an inch).
Can anyone tell me how to get her to eat something with a few more
calories in it?  She's wasting away before my eyes and I don't know why.
I assume she's been altered, and she hasn't got parasites of any sort.
All of the others, even Kiki who is sickly, are fat as little piggies.
 
One thought just occurred to me that I'm going to try.  I wonder if she
will take Ensure with Ferretvite mixed in it?  I'll try it and see.  Any
ideas would be greatly appreciated.
 
Shelley and the 4 fat and 1 very skinny fuzz butts.
