Lily has been eating a few bites out of her wet food and then she doesn’t it want it anymore. She’s been doing this for a week and she is doing it to all flavors. What should I do? She won’t eat it later on either

Hello, sorry to hear about Lily. You may try a different brand of wet kitten food. You can also mix it with dry kitten food. Depending on how often you are feeding her she may also not be hungry. Kittens may have a fluctuating appetite that may be associated with growing and how active they are. As long as she is eating some food, and not having any vomiting, diarrhea or lethargy then she should be ok. If you note any of the above then have her evaluated soon.
