Woke up today to find my baby eating!!!!

It was a good feed as well, he was acting like he'd never seen food before and ate so much and so fast for a tiny baby, his lameness is getting better too

i know i must carry on with the antibiotics, but should i still syringe feed???
Im so so happy, he actually feels less 'wobbly' if that makes sense and is so much more responsive now.
I'm very happy, hopefully this progress will continue

Glad to hear he is eating, try not and let him gorge himself on the food. If a cat is eating to quickly they can heave up their meal. If you like you can elevate his food bowl a little bit to help him not eat so quickly.

If he is also drinking, or getting moisture that is just as important. If you are feeding him canned food, he is getting moisture from there. Good job, hope he continues to improve on you.

yup he's definately drinking, infact he's been drinking all the way through which i've been pleased about.
he's eating Royal Canin, mixed with a little Whiskers pouches.


Should i still syringe feed? i really don't want him to go downhill again.
Also some of my cats really appreciate raw, can i give him any fresh food, or is it best to stick to the kitten food?

Thanks Hissy!
