Hey, those are some great suggestions, I'll try the parmesan cheese next time. He took a pb ball this morning. I tried wrapping velveta-type cheese around it, no go. But that did remind me about what I used to get Star to take her pills a hile back - cheese in a can! (Meeska the husky calls it "Crack-Whiz" for dogs) They couldn't get enough of it last summer!
I'm still steaming him everyday. He really loves his little sauna, he'll sleep in there for a couple hours at a time. We "thump" him right after that, and a couple more times each day. I've also been massaging him. I think it's helping.

He certainly improved over the weekend, starting Sat. night- he was getting up & around a bit, had his ears up, watched us. Still refusing most food - even scrambled eggs. Chicken is about the only thing he seems to want to eat. So I'm cooking for him. LOL, anyone who knows Serman knows he must be sick if he's refusing any kind of food!
I'll be happy when he starts coming over to sit so nicely, waiting for a tidbit again.
