Re: Help with new kitten!!!

So, I gave her some milk which she has lapped up. the vet advised to perhaps heat the food a bit to increase the smell but that didnt work. the vet also suggested to try a bit of tuna. She was clearly hungy this morning and totally ignored the pouch food but when offered tuna, scoffed it down plus a tiny bit of the dry food.

Obviously I am glad shes eaten properly bit I dont want to end up with a fusspot either. I want her to eat the pouches!! Any suggestions or ideas to help me please?

Thank you

(BTW..she is litter trained for sure!!)
try mixing a bit off tuna in with the pouches and leave it she will eat when she gets real hungry, if she as it just keep putting less tuna each time.... its worth a try..
