can anyone help as you know we lost flora a couple of weeks ago and molly is now on her own the trouble is she is not eating at all well she will eat a little fish and the odd winalot reward and thats it has anyone any ideas on what i could do to encourage her to eat.  She has always been a bit fussy but with flora around she ate to stop her stealing it most of the time any help would be great thanks

Fenugreek is mean to be good to stimulate their appetites with. You can buy them as tablets/capsules with garlic:

Dorwest herbs

Provet recommend malted kelp or herbal tablets:

Will she eat any chicken and rice or something like that

Hi,
She may always be a fussy eater, if her weight is right, then I wouldn't let this be an issue. She will eat if she is truly hungry. TLC is probably more important to her at present, she'll still be feeling confused by Flora's abscence.

She is quite possibly in mourning, and hopefully her appetite will pick up soon.

Maybe hand-feeding her would help - as long as she gets her daily intake, it doesn't really matter whether it comes in small parcels, or is made up of tasty tempting things as well as kibble etc.

Hope she perks up soon !!
