I did an experiment with the dear baby Birdie today. It's so time consuming feeding him through that bottle, and at his age, and emaciated (though getting better) state, he's insatiable! So I put some Science Diet kitten wet food in a dish, and bless his little heart he was eating it! His tongue is still not functional, and the S.D is way too dry, so I tried him on Whiskas Bit's o Beef and he's loving it! He's figuring out just how to eat it, and throw his head back to get it down his throat. I'm watching him like a mother hen to make sure he does O.K with it, before I go off and do other things. So far so good, though I still give him his vitamin packed formula as well. He's in dire need of another bath, but that can wait right? Dirty little Birdie, but such a sweet disposition Happy Happy Joy Joy!! Come on little tongue WORK!
