Hi Gerard,
thanks for your explanations, they make sense to me
Yes, I had hoped she'll be back up to 200g by Monday/Tuesday but it's not gonna happen.
This a.m. she was back down to 195g for some reason - although she *may* have just had another sleep-in and not had her 'crack-of-dawn' brekkie (or at least not much) since she appeared to be just waking up and hadn't had her morning poop either when I came in to weigh her (poop happened right away after she woke and looked normal) She's eating and pooping normal.
I tell ya, that girl is going to be the death of me - as soon as I report one thing she goes in the opposite direction
As a side note: I'm beginning to think that her recurring digestive issues *may* be food intolerances. I do know for a fact that too much fresh corn (e.g. corn-on-the-cob) gives her true diarrhoea and gas (air bubbles in poops) which is why that's a very rare and strictly limited treat. I'm now wondering if there may be other foods as well, currently I'm somewhat suspecting kiwi fruit confused.
So once she's consistently eating pellets I'm going to do a serious elimination process with fresh foods and I'll keep a close eye on it in the mean time.
Well, see how we go ...
