All Teak's blood work came back normal. He still is not eating. He hasn't pooped either. I'm force feeding him but I'm not sure it's really been enough for him to have a bowl movement. Only about 6-8 tablespoons a day, he weights 11 pounds. I just now gave him 2.5 ounces of baby food-chicken. It's hard to force feed him that much, he's starting to fight me. I hope this is a sign of getting better. I've read that the only real way to diagnose IBD is from a biopsy. I'm afraid to do that. I think I'm going to take him Monday for a second opinion. Since he isn't vomiting or having diarrhea I'm wondering...
