Precious was spayed yesterday & since then she refuses to eat anything hard, even her favorite treats. However, she will eat boiled chicken & rice. How much is an appropriate amount for her? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 2 months old | 4 lbs

Hello. I would expect Precious should eat about 1-1&1/2 cups per day. But you do want to try & transition her back to her regular food as soon as you can. Start by adding a small amount of her regular food softened to the chicken & rice & increase this a bit every day. Hopefully, she will get back to her regular diet soon.
