I'm so glad to hear that he seems a little perkier but I'm with Jan and think you need to force a few droppers of warmed up baby food. I really think he will feel better once he gets something in his tummy.:) It might come back out but he will get some nourishment from it. He probably won't like that either but you sadly sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do. Sometimes they find out that it tastes pretty darn good and decide they might like to eat after all. ;) :D
Keep us posted.
I put some warmed up kitten food in a dropper that was watered down a little. I had to pry those jaws open to put the first few droppers in. He licked his chops, but still decided he wasn't eating. After the 4th dropper, I guess he figured I was determined to get the food into him so he might as well get it on his own terms, and walked over the the dish and started eating! YIPPIE!
He looked MUCH better and has been out all day, and his bottom is purrfectly dry and looks much better too. I'm going to have to cage him soon though, because the food I put in him is eventually going to need to come back out and I don't want to infect the others.
YYYYIIIIIPPPPEEEEE wait a go Murphy. Keep eating there little one and get better real soon.
Isn't it amazing how stubborn they can be about trying to eat something new? And it takes so long for them to figure it out that it actually tastes good? Silly kitties. But I am glad that he ate.
I'm just now reading this thread. Poor baby Murphy.:( I'm so glad to hear that he's eating and feeling much better. Please get well soon little one.:)
Is Murphy still eating? :confused: He's got to replenish that gut of his. ;)
Oh goodness... Murphy has totally rebounded... new thread coming up as soon as I edited the videos... yes, ACTION shots of him!
