Things didn't go as easily as I had hoped. They all ate it but Phiona threw hers up shortly after finishing. That was early afternoon. I just tried again and this time Phin threw up. It was a small amount and he went back to his bowl to eat the rest, most of it anyway. Poor Phi won't go near it. I tried putting some of her kibble in with a small amount but not happening. I used ground chicken this time so should I try turkey instead? Samara made the switch easily. She chows down and would clean up everybody else's too. Any suggestions?

mine took very well to it. Our new Addition Rooka ate very little the first Day, she is eating more and more per Day.
Mix it with a bit of yummi can food ?

I'll try mixing with canned for the morning meal. Poor babies. I feel so bad that they threw up. I'm trying to give them something I think will be better for them not make it rough on them :Cry:

We did a little better this morning. Phil kept his down thankfully. He doesn't seem to enthusiastic about it tho. Hopefully that will change. But poor Phiona is still having issues. I mixed it with her canned food and she ate it, yeah! Even kept it down for 15 mins, longer than last time. But the poor thing started crying and pacing and I knew what was coming. Up it came :Sad: I think I'll get some turkey today and give it one more try. Samara and Phin seem to be doing fine on it but I hate to keep putting Phiona through this.

try this for all of them:

3 part Canfood , 1 part raw. Slowly introduce the Raw to them. If all goes well for 3 days , 2 part Can , 2 part raw .... if all goes well 1 can , 3 raw ... do this for a few days each so their Tummi gets used to it.

Thanks! I was just thinking about trying something along those lines :Smile: Phin wouldn't touch his at all last night or this morning so it was back to reg diet. I need to pick up some more canned today and go slow with it. Fingers crossed!
