Oh yeah, on his regular schedule he would eat 1/2 cup per day (1/4 AM, 1/4 PM) with a bit of canned. But I mean since he's still recovering, and supposed to eat smaller amounts, I did not know if only 1/4 was enough.
Yesterday I put 1/4 in his bowl and he nibbled from 10am-3pm ish and finished it all slowly. Plus he got a few bits of canned food later when giving him his pills.
He still has not pooped since I brought him home Monday night and it was diarrhea then (to be expected). One of the meds have a side effect of constipation tho. So I'm not sure if I should be worried about the lack of poop -- since he hasn't been exercising or eating like usual, maybe that's another reason.
We have an appointment for 3:30 tomorrow for a re-check. Pray everything goes well.
