It sounds like Rosie has a good varied diet, but I must ask, why do you add water to soften up the pellets? I'm sure Rosie would have no problems whatsoever eating them dry, and while not likely, a moist pellet could be harboring some type of bacteria that given a tad of moisture becomes active. Other than that, you seem to have a grasp of what a good diet consists of. I hope your vet can find out what the cause of her problem is, and was stated in a previous post, yeast infections are usually not the main cause, as it could be a spin-off of some other infection.


There was a time that Rosie wasn't wanting her pellets, she just stopped eating them for a couple of weeks, I even tried changing brands and she wasn't having it. So then one day we thought we would heat some water and pour it over her pellets to make them soft for her. She just ate them all up, you didn't see her little head come up out of her bowl for a long time. So from that day forward we have done that for her. Once in a while when I am putting her weeks supply from the big container in the freezer into the smaller container or if I put some into her bowl waiting for the water to heat she will eat a few of the hard pellets but thats it just a 2 or 3 and then shes done.
