Once again, I am faced with, to me, the most stressful event with a
fuzzy: Not eating on their own.  Hobbes may have adrenal, insulinoma,
or both.  I know from my other fuzzies, I have to get some food, on a
regular basis, into him or he will loose weight very quickly and not be a
good candidate for surgery (once we figure out what is wrong with him).
Yesterday, his BG was 165.
 
I have tried some of the common preparations to feed a non-eating fuzzy:
A/D alone and mixed with just a little ferretone, Duck Soup that has
mostly Gerber's chicken dinner with a little Boost, pedialyte, and
ferretone, and Bob's Chicken Gravy.
 
I don't want to make the feeding stressful.  He may never want to be on
my lap again!  I put a small amount on the end of my finger and let him
smell it and then I put a little bit around his lips so he can taste it
also.  After I do this, he bolts from my lap and runs to the other end
of the house.  He does this even when he is lethargic.
 
At this point, I just need something easy on the stomach, doesn't require
chewing, and he _will_ eat!
 
Please tell me what and how you feed in this situation!
 
Thanks!
