I will gladly tell you what turned us around.
I went to feeding him every two hours smaller amounts.
I mix up Rice Baby Cereal and Chicken Gravy This is human baby food.
I mix it up and syringe it in a syringe that measures 2 tspooons (1 Tspoon is 5 ML) so I use a 10 ML syringe but I only feed him about 5 - 7 ml of that sometimes less depending on what he will take.
In the beginning I was making/forcefeeding this I knew I had to get him going
I also added Liver Drops the first few days after he crashed big time.
I boil a peice of calves liver in a bit of water then I give him only the liquid in a few drops a few times a day.
Don't over do because it will cause problems with diarrhea.
I also started giving him lil bits of nutrical at each feeding. just a very little amount because I was feeding every two hours.
he now has started eating dry kibble with Chicken Stick (baby food) juice and a lil chicken stick mixed up and heated in the microwave to warm it up and he likes this the best to eat on his own.
Then I offer him about every 4 hours the Rice Cereal and the Chicken Gravy.
He is doing good now and his eyes are bright and he has not crashed again.
It has been time consuming and a labor of the utmost love for this doll baby
I enjoy him so much
