You guys have to understand... she's not refusing to eat. She's unABLE to eat. She tried, and just can't do it. She doesn't have the control to get a good line on the mouse and strike... and the more excited about the mouse she gets, the more... loopy??.. she gets. It's hard to explain without seeing it. We've tried two Saturdays in a row now, since she's been off all her meds - and both times, there is a sincere effort .. that's why this last time, we offered it to her freshly killed, thinking she wouldn't need such precision to eat.. and that's when she missed the mouse and grabbed herself instead.
I just don't know if trying again next week will stress her out, or giver her another chance. I guess we'll see what this vet says on Wednesday....
