Appetite has been mixed over the past few days. She's turning down some of her favorite foods again and not eating as much. When she does eat, it's very voracious, like she was starving and can't wait to get the food down fast enough. One of the things I've been doing is to bring a bowl of food over to her when she's napping. I stick the bowl right at her face, she wakes up, and starts eating without having to even move her body. It does seem to get her to eat when she won't go to her food bowl on her own.
Penny's also been sneezing a lot more now. She's really cute when she does it, but we know it's not a good thing. (Also not cute is when she does a big wet sneeze right at my face while I'm sleeping.) Based on past experience, if her sinus is clogged, she'll tend not to eat because she can't smell her food.
On other issues, her mouth is bothering her more (symptom: lip smacking). Lesions seem to be healing or decreasing, which makes us believe that they were caused by some sort of allergic reaction to the Piroxicam medication. Her hair is also thinning out.
Current weight: 6.8 lbs

keep eating penny!
that's such a cute picture of her :o)
Yeah, that picture makes me laugh. It wasn't even an action shot or anything. She was in the middle of grooming herself, got distracted, and forgot to put her foot down from that awkward position. :)
