No appetite tonight yet.I am so afraid I am not going to force feed him enough.
If you all could just see how super sweet, and calm, and wonderful he is.

When we were syringe-feeding Pyka, we were told to work up to 1 can and 1/4 per day. These are the cans that are a bit flatter and bigger than the Fancy Feast cans.
If Mr Meow is around 10 lbs normal weight, use that as a guideline. Or give your vet a quick call and ask how much he should be getting.
I am wondering about Feliway...anything that might help his mood...
Some subQ fluids might perk his appetite, if he is feeling a bit dehydrated.

The vet said his hydration was good. Never suggested fluids (and she knows I can give them)
Believe it or not, she said about 15-20 ml a couple of times a day. but that does NOT see like a lot at all!
SIGH. If he won't eat by Monday, she wants blood work. Not a bad idea, but I sure wish he would just EAT!

I am sure you tried a few foods, but....is it possible that he is picky and doesn't like the food?
And he has sniffles, so all I can think about is trying really stinky stuff under his nose...
And are his teeth ok?
(I am sure you checked these...but just wondered.)
EAT, BABY BOY!

Yup, I checked his teeth twice and the vet said they only have a little tartar. YES, I suppose he is finicky. I have tried several things. not sure what else will convince him to eat, but I will keep searching.

Smelly tuna, some salmon, I think someone else with a sick kitty is feeding baby food? How worrisome. Prayers coming to you both!
