Okay,don't make her do something she isn't interested in.That only puts strain onto your bond with her which creates more problems than just her weight!Scatter feeding is great,keep it up.Maybe feed her daily mix as a small amount scattered.Then,have daily fresh vegetables but be mindful of which ones have more water content and feed those sparingly.If you feed the right vegetables in moderation,there are very few health concerns.Possibly cut out yogurt drops completely and go for fruit instead as a sweet treat,but of course that is something that should be fed no more often than every 3-4 days if not weekly.
