I had similar problems with Honey. FIRST, make sure the vet has checked his very back
teeth, the ones SO far back that they need to put a little scope into their mouths to
see them. This not happening led to Honey's troubles. Make sure those teeth have been
checked. They can cause a world of problems.

Then, you might syringe feed critical care, if you can get some. A lot of gps like
it. Mine don't of course. I had to dip the end of the syringe in blueberry yogurt,
and while she was lapping at it, I would squirt the critical care in her mouth.

You might also get a mini food chopper, my Mom had one and I borrowed it to grind up
parsley with some water (one of Honey's all-time favorites) to make parsley juice. I
would strain out the parsley and she would drink the green juice, which is loaded
with vitamins. You might try making his favorite, like romaine 'juice' or fresh
carrot or fresh tomato 'juice'.

I hope he feels better, and although you feel helpless, you are doing a good job, the
best job that you can do. Just make sure they have checked those teeth in the very,
very back of the mouth.

Warm regards, Bethany
