Since she is so tiny I would be feeding her at least 3 times per day. I would also purchase some nutrical to give her in between meals and right before bed time to help keep her blood sugar up. You can also give her nutrical if she decides to skip a meal for whatever reason. If you don't have any other pets, you could consider just leaving hard food down for her to munch on when she feels like it, but you may have to ofter her softened dry food 3 times a day to ensure she eats. For her size she really may only eat 1/4-1/3 cup of food TOTAL for the whole day. I hope this helps!
