Oh, that pic of him, I SO know that look! Marcel used to have that plaintive "hep me, hep me" look too. I hope he feels better soon.
Yes, start the fish as soon as you can (tilapia, flounder, sole, cod, whiting etc.) - how much does he weigh? You want to be a bit more careful w/ amounts when giving fish bc it is such a lean protein, so low in fat. You're using fish oil though, if I remember right? If yes, keep using that for his fat.
So, feed about (if giving 2 meals per day) 1.5 oz fish, 2-3 T potato, and only about 1T of the greens (each meal). The pumpkin you could give 2-3 times a day, with meal or alone - perhaps a tsp. or so. You could even give the pumpkin w/ a bit of yogurt if he likes it - that'd be good for him too.
How's he doing today?
