Joy, Kallie has eaten some this afternoon. She wouldn't eat boiled eggs but did eat some dry food with some AFS meat. She is carrying a large litter and not much room for food. I don't think she will go until the 12th. I got some canned food from the vet that I will try tomorrow if she won't eat. Thanks for the ideas. I will keep you posted.
