Her diet has been a challenge since half way through the pregnancy. Changed food twice and now she’s on a special diet. Cooked duck breast, rice, carrots, beans, chicken or beef broth, and milk replacement are all part of her diet now. Thankfully my wife is all in on this otherwise it wouldn’t get done!

We had eating issues with both litters of our middle girl. It was always very challenging getting her to eat well.
