Update. Day 9 of being back home. Stoli is doing much better. He eats on his own now, and I am giving him small meals of Royal C Low Fat food a few times a day. I think he’d eat more if I let him, but I have read that you can overdo the recovery stage, so I”m taking it slow. On the Syringe food I was giving him, I figured out that if you put the wet food in the syringe, then add a bit of warm water, it goes down easier and he liked it more. I did that for a few days, then tried to give him boiled chicken and white rice. He didn’t like the chicken and rice to much, so I changed it back to the Royal C food and used very small pieces of the chicken as “rewards”. That worked pretty well. Next, I had his pills (he takes 3 a day) compounded at a pharmacy to liquid so that I can just squirt them in his mouth and not try to force a pill down.
Thanks
