Well, Beazy is getting better and better. Thanks for all your good advice and good wishes. They worked!
I'm still syringe feeding her (about 36 ml each time) four times a day. That 3 am feed is really getting old, though. And, as she feels better, she likes the syringe less and less.
Does anyone have any advice about getting her back to eating on her own? I've tried offering the warm, soupy food before we syringe (and leaving her alone with it), but she's no longer interested. After that intial attempt to eat on her own, she hasn't tried again.
I'm hoping someone has experience with this. Or, does it just take time? I've heard assisted (read: forced) feeds can continue for eight weeks. I'll be a zombie by then!
Cheers,
Kate
