Ferris has been making baby steps, progressing slowly.....but I am seeing each baby step as a major victory. I have been feeding him with a syringe...and will continue until I am sure he is eating well and drinking. today he continued to open his mouth ever so slightly when I fed him....as opposed to clamping it shut when I give him meds. I have yet to see him eating his food, but i went out and got some sliced chicken, gave him a little and he gobbled it right down. When I put fresh water in his cage he drank a tiny bit. he has also eaten a few treats with great enthusiasm. At this point I will feed him just about anything he eats enthusiastically. I got a couple jars of baby food (chicken) and some of those cartons of cat milk, hoping to get more fluids into him that way
Today he seems to be sitting up a little more steadily....less wobbling. I have also seen him take a couple of steps before falling over...which I did not see, yesterday. Today I found one very small and very soft poop in his LB. That was major because it means he was able to get into and out of the LB on his own! I am confident that he will continue to progress...with all the glows from all of you....how could he not?!
