New treat!!

So the other day, Powder started biting off the bit of Critical Care that had dried at the edge of the bowl I had mixed it in to give to Dash... gave me an idea--I made Critical Care cookies!! Mixed up a thick batch, plopped it into cookie shapes on a cookie sheet, and baked it at 350 for about 15 minutes. They're GOBBLING them up! Seems pretty healthy to me... a nice alternative to oats.... :dance3:

Yeah, someone else did that just the other week. I think it would kill the probiotics in them. Also, they would need to drink some water with that. But I bet they are yummy for them. Maybe they could have the powder unmixed, like lifeline....or would it need the water first???

Well, I wouldn't use these "cookies" while the chins are sick and in need of heavy duty nutrients/supplements, but I think they make a safe and yummy bedtime treat for healthy chins.

i did that before too and they liked them. i think the good thing is that it gets them used to the taste of critical care so when you do have to hand feed them, they wont hate it!

With chilli, I gave him a good drink of pale tea after I gave him the cookies. He had not really needed to probiotics before, this was really just to get his weight back up. He is eating on his own, but we would like to see him about 20 g heavier. doing the cookies has made a big difference in him- he went from 605 in the am to 615. He drops in the evening, and I want that night weight to be 620, so he has a ways to go. The vet also wants him chewing as much as possible, so I figure that this way he chews his CC too.
