Well Drake seems to tolerate all the extra attention ok, but he must be getting better because he kept trying to tail whip us today when we tube fed him. I assume by the end of the month we will have to wrap him in a towel to be able to tube feed him. He is still not eating and that concerned me. Called the vet and she said not to worry that he was getting everything he needs for now. She also said he should start to at least nibble in another week or so.I can already tell a difference though. He is gaining weight in torso and the tip of his tail is starting to fill out again. So I think we are out of the woods and headed back to a healthy Mali. Will post a pic soon. (kids stole the batteries out of the digital camera for one for there many gizmos!) lol Thanks again for all the support and help !
