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.
Yes sometimes, when they have diarrhea, they so thoroughly clean out the gut, it takes a while before normal pooping occurs, but usually it's within 24 hours of introduction to food. Hope everything goes great at the check up, and I'm praying for you and Jackson.
