Hello All,
I'm looking for some info on how to fatten up my baby boy. He is dealing with several issues right now and is currently not eating. We were at the vet this week and he has an URI, ulcers in both eyes, and had to have a tooth extracted last night. I understand him not eating right now with just having the tooth pulled and not feeling well overall. What concerns me is he is 14 years old and only weighs 3.18 lbs. He has never been a big eater and has only weighed 5 lbs. all of his life, but now that he is down to 3 lbs. I'm very worried. He is a very picky eater and will only eat his dry kibbles and he loves his little bit of Lactaid milk he gets 2x a day. That's it, he will eat nothing else. He will eat no wet food at all. Is there anything I can mix in with his milk to try to fatten him up? What about baby food? I thought about maybe putting some in a syringe and feeding him that way till he starts eating on his own again. I'm open to any suggesions. Thank you.
