If you want to try force feeding with a syringe buy two sizes or use the one that came with the albon if you still have it. It should be a 3 CC syringe probably. I use a smaller one, a 1 mml for the pedialyte. I would make the baby food mixture i described above and feed three of the 3 CC syringes every three to four hours.

It won't hurt him and it is the same as putting the nutrical on the roof of his mouth. You just have someone help you and gently open his mouth and squeeze some into the back of his throat and he will have no choice but to swallow it.

I would also buy the puppy colostrom and see if he will drink that on his own as it tastes really good and they usually gobble it up even if they don't feel well.
