I was planning on taking him in today to see if the vet felt that it was his time to go since he hadn't been willing to eat on his own for three weeks and I had seen no sign of improvement. However we will not have to go in for our vets opinion today because he has finally shown me a sign!

Yesterday I was finally able to get him to eat some temptations, then last night I gave him some meow mix canned which he ate on his own! This morning he also ate some more meow mix canned all by himself! I bought some friskies dry that I'm going to leave out for him to see if he will eat and I'm going to keep offering the meow mix twice a day to see if he will eat it. I'm still going to keep up with the force feedings, but hopefully he will continue to eat on his own so that I can slowly wean him off. I realize that he's not out of the clear but at least he has finally shown some sign that he isn't ready to go yet.
