Thanks to all that sent advice on what to do about Ringo, my little insulinomic boy. He is knocking back more of the steroids daily and is acting a lot better. His weight is still really low, but he overall seems to be improving. The problem? The little snot has no interest in ferret food or baby food or even real chicken. He turns his little nose up at all the concoctions I come up with. He is, however, obsessed with the puppy's food. How bad is it for him to eat the puupy chow? The pup eats Iams Puppy. While I'm pleased Ringo's showing an interest in eating again, I'd just as soon he eat HIS food! How much should I police the dog's food? I want Ringo to eat something. I just don't know if we've gone from the frying pan into the fire. I vaguly recall there being something in dog food that isn't good for the fuzzies. (Plus he's making the puppy crazy. Imagine Ringo nonchalantly chomping away on a bowl full of food while the puppy dances around him barking. Interestingly enough, the puppy is only intimidated by Ringo, not the other weasels. Go figure!) thanks, Anne [Posted in FML issue 4559]
