Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 13.6 lbs
She just had major surgery of blocked lower GI tract with a lot of thread 4 days ago. The vet just wants her to eat anything at this point. All she will eat at the moment is temptation cat treats. Yesterday she almost half a small can of fancy feast wet food. Shes not a fan of wet food normally & eats mainly dry cat food. Shes pooping and peeing normal now. How much temptation treats should she be eating a day for now? She weights 12 pounds and 1 year old. I just want to make sure eating enough.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Smores. If she is interested in the canned food, I would continue to offer that to her. If she will eat the treats, offer these as well. I wouldn't worry about over feeding her at this point, I would just offer her so much as she will eat. Most cats will need to eat around 200 calories per day. I hope this information helps!
