After 10 months of undiagnosed illnesses a new vet did a bile serum test for liver shunt that came back positive. They have him on Baytril and want me to feed him a vegetarian diet. Of course besides feeling terrible he doesn't like vegetables. Any suggestions on what fruits and vegetables might tempt him. He does like apples but he can't live on apples alone. I cooked potatoes, brocolli, carrot and peas and pureed them and fed him with a syringe. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Elmosmom
