Tell me if my thinking is oK here.

After I get her settled in to her new tub with the proper temps, etc, I was going to leave her alone for a good 7 days except to check for mites and make sure they're gone... (doc says they're gone), and not try to feed her anything for a good week at least.

The vet said they're going to want me to bring her in for a tube feeding every few days, but they said she looks better already.

Do you think I should do what the vet says in this case? (take her back for more forced/tube feedings) Or just leave her alone for a while, let her work up and appetite and see if she will eat a small hopper on her own ?

I'm just worried that continuing to force feed her is going to cause more stress if they're not absolutely necessary. And I also don't want her to get so used to these tube feedings that she won't eat a mouse on her own later.

What do you think ?
