Bonnie, getting better.

Well, Bonnie is still not eating a whole lot, but she is begining to nibble. (She got human canned chicken today) I still need to find out which food she'll eat on a REGULAR basis now that she has no teeth.

I gave her an appetite stimulant pill this evening, hoping by tomorrow morning she'll be extra willing to eat.

She seems to be healing and the vet will look at it on Monday.

Oh Bonnie, what you've been through sounds awful!

I hope you're feeling better by now, hope your appetite will come back soon.

My RB Katz had lost all her teeth and had no problems eating.

Get well soon, Bonnie!

Sorry to hear she's still not eating much. Once her jaw heals up she should be able to eat dry food, possibly moistened with some water. We have several older pets at work that have no teeth and manage to eat dry food not even moistened. I guess they gum it rather than chew it. Although in most of those cases they don't also have a fractured jaw to deal with either.

I hope Bonnie gets healed up soon and back to eating for you.

She finally ate a decent amount this morning, so I can hope it will only get better from here. I am going to go get another selection of canned varieties today, though, to find her favorite.
