After that, her vet put her on a cooked chicken breast meat (I cheated, sometimes I give chicken drumstick, wing and other meaty parts too), potato, papaya and wheatgrass diet. I must admit that the poop's beautiful and she is starting to gain back the weight she's lost when she was sick. I'd asked her vet whether it means we can start transiting back to feeding raw, but she doesn't seem keen because Oreo seems to be doing so fine on the diet now. In fact, the last time when Oreo had the acute pancreatitis attack, her vet was keen on keeping her on a cooked diet, but Oreo wasn't doing too well on it after a few weeks and started showing behavioural issues, licking floors, begging for food and coprophagia, so we went back to raw. I can't help but wonder if I'd brought on this new bout because I had asked if it's better to feed her raw again, although all the bad behaviour went as quickly as they came after the raw diet resumed.
Apart from that general feeling like feeding cooked food really just isn't as good as feeding raw, it's true that despite Ms O looking really happy to see food, she really doesn't seem to relish it as much as before, when she was digging into a whole raw chicken. I must admit, it's not as fun to watch her eat either.
Should I just ignore vet's advice and feed raw again, bearing in mind too, that my vet is a holistic one who was actually the one who told us to feed raw in the first place, or should I just go on with the cooked diet, at least until bad behaviour rears its nasty head at us?
