My 11 year old Yorkie came home from the vet last night after 4 days and 3 nights hospitalized with severe pancreatitis. The ultrasound showed a really severe case, and many tests were done as well as a plasma infusion. Over $4000 so far..

They sent him home with some pain meds, antacid and antibiotics. They said to syringe feed him Royal Canin Low Fat wet food until he gets his appetite back and gave us some giant syringes

Question: though he has drank water out of a bowl 6 times in the 20 hours he’s been home, he doesn’t want to eat. How much/often has anyone else found is good to syringe him food (he’s 9-10 lbs)?

I’m exhausted from this ordeal, so I apologize in advance if I left out any needed information. Any advice from people who have been in this situation is appreciated by me and Stoli.
