My little Rowdy is thin too and doens't care much about food. I leave dry food - Solid Gold Wee Bits - you have to get it at a petstore, Walmart doesn't have good quality food. I also hand feed him wet dog food - again good quality, Innova is what I use - again, petstore (you may have to make a run to the city to pick up some nutracal and quality pet food - I do understand, I used to live way out, it was 120 miles to petsmart!) You can use corn syrup like nutrical - it doesn't have the vitamins that nutracal has though.
I also hand feel Rowdy toddler (human) chicken sticks. When Rowdy was littler (he's 1 now), I would put corn syrup on his food, wet and dry to get him to eat it. I fed him cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, boiled chicken - anything he would eat - at least 3 times per day.
You just have to work to see what they will eat and then try to feed as often as he will eat.
