He hasn't eaten on his own, yet, but I sure wish he would. He does drink water on his own, so nowI am trying to trick him. I took the mixture I use in the syringe and mixed it in his water bowl so it is the consistence of water. The nutrients will be diluted, but at least he will get some every time he drinks, assuming that he does not refuse to drink it). I also placed a dry cat food that has a nice small kibble in a bowl and covered with water. He might drink that water, or maybe he'll eat the kibble once it is soft. He hasn't licked any baby food or other soft food yet.

He is difficult to give sub-Q fluids to, because of his thin skin (over bones) the needle passes right through and out again and most of the time I can't see it (until a flood occurs) because of his long coat. So I end up sticking him mutiple time just to get the needle positioned. I feel so bad for him.

He is perked up a little. When I get home from work with him, he'll come out of his carrier and walk right up and onto the window perch.

So........we keep trying.
