You've gotten some great advice here. Do find another vet; when Addie had her episode her vet immediately recommended blood work be done to find out if it was a liver shunt (luckily it wasn't). She also said Addie will be more prone to them, but we've never had another incident. For 3-4 weeks, I fed Addie first the high calorie wet food given by the emergency vet, then wet food bought at the pet boutique, and finally wet food mixed with dry food. I did have to hand feed her for awhile, and did make sure she had several wet food meals per day as well as the dry stuff out at all times. Don't leave the wet food out all day. Try to get him to eat a small bit of it and then give more later (3-4 times as someone suggested above). You can measure out the dry food that you leave out at all times and 24 hours later, measure it again so you can see if he actually ate any of the dry stuff. But note, he might not with the wet food given to him several times per day.
