Where do you by nytrical? The only food he gets is from us mixing food and warm water in a syringe and then administering it through his mouth. He will not drink or eat on his own. The vet has stated that we are doing the right thing and that there is nothing else to do. As stated, he is on two differnt antibiotics and the food is presciption diet a/d.
My biggest concern is how much to feed. We give him about 4cc of food/water mix every 2 to 3 hours and just started giving him about 4 cc of gatoraid and water between the other meals. He weighs 2 lbs and is about 12 weeks old. I dont want to over load his little stomach.
