I have a 5 year old male who recently had a few lumps removed (mammary tumors). He has not wanted to eat and had become dehydrated. We are giving him fluids every 12 hours (30 ml) and are force feeding him thin duck soup every 4 hours. He is acting normal (his energy has returned since his hydration is near normal)....but he will eat very little of the duck soup on his own and NO kibble. This little fellow is usually a PIG, so I am wondering how longs folks have had to force feed after surgery. He had a complete blood test and xrays to rule out anything else going on...all results were ok. thanks a million! deb and wing-nut! [Posted in FML issue 4481]
