Customer testimonials
Thank you so much for your help, Dr. Lillian. It has been difficult for me to locate an entirely satisfactory vet, and so I am very grateful for your second opinions. Your answers are detailed while still being put in simple terms that are easily understood. You are helping me and my FeLV+ kitten through a tough time, and we appreciate your help!

Kittens not eating dry food
I had my cats declawed (had to be done for various reasons) one week ago yesterday and they have been home for 4 days now. They are walking around fine, using the litter box (thank goodness!) and are very happy to be home (lots of purring and meowing, they're being very sucky!). They're little fuzzy paws are a bit sore, but they'll be fine, I can tell already!
The only problem is that they haven't eaten much at all since they got home. They have both had bowel movements (I think just one or two each) and they are peeing - but they won't eat. I see them drinking every so often, so I'm not worried about dehydration, but I'm worried about them starving. I gave them each half a can of Fancy Feast wet food to make them eat. It's usually only given to them once a week as a treat and they eat dry food every day. They devoured the wet food, but will not eat the dry that's always there.
I don't want to keep giving them wet food because this is not the usual routine and I don't want them to think that they will always get wet food from now on.
Any ideas/comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
