I don't know if anyone can help - But I have had my little Twiglet on Rice and chicken or tuna (in spring water) for the last 4 days due to a bout of cystitis and runny tummy - she seemed fine for the first couple of days - then on Sunday after a hectic afternoon at my nephews birthday party we came home and about 3 hours later she puked the lot up (lunch and dinner by the amount of it!)
She was not a happy little soul and today she had a little rice and chicken for breakfast and threw that up - so I threw it away and just made some chicken broth with a few chicken pieces in which she drank OK... was fairly lethargic for most of the day and when I put down a little wet rice and chicken this evening completly turned her nose up at it - by now I was getting a bit frantic as she hadn't really eaten alot for 9 hours - so I put a little steamed chicken with a few of her James Welbeloved Kibbles and she wolfed it down - I was tempted to give her a bit more but am reining myself in for tonight - but she certainly seems to have perked up....
So I guess the question is - can they have too much Rice? I know it is starchy and just wondered if she had had too much?
I am such a novice at this and am terrified of doing something wrong OH is away for the week in the US so I am feeling a bit low - so much so I had a sob and bless her she came straight over asked me to sit on the floor with her and slobbered all over me.
She is looking so much better now and I don't want to get it all wrong by giving her rice again tommorrow if it could be that which is causing the problem ...any thoughts always appreciated.
Manic Mum!
PS I have never left the rice over night and always a fresh batch each day and chicken is just steamed in the oven with no salt, additives etc.
