>30 mls of pureed chicken (Chicken pureed with chicken broth). We mix >the 30 mls of chicken with 30 mls of water It is my personal opinion that attempting to feed 60mL in one sitting is way too much. The vomiting doesn't surprise me at all; just think of how you feel when you overeat. The issue with syringe eating is that WE control how much goes in, not the ferret. We have to make sure we are not overfeeding. I never feed more than 40mL per sitting, 3-4 times per day. That is a good amount to maintain, and likely gain, weight. And the ferret will normally let you know when it is full, by pushing your hand away. Watch for this and respect it. If you are mixing pureed chicken and chicken broth, is the water even necessary to get it through a syringe? (Mike has previously indicated that he is feeding from a syringe). I would think it would go through with little, or no, water. Mixing with a hand mixer would assure that. The less water, the more nutrition going in, and lesser quantity. After all this time, with little improvement, it is my opinion that he needs to be hospitalized to determine what is really going on. Katharine Florida [Posted in FML 6709]
