I am currently feeding Chester baby food, with whipping cream added,
twice a day to try to get some weight on him. He looks like the boy
from Bangladesh, all skin and bones. We recently ran bunches on
tests on him but all is normal. My vet thinks he may just be
getting old (we don't know his age) and has higher energy
requirements. It's working, by the way. He's gained several ounces
over the last couple of weeks. Here's the cute part. While Chester
is in my lap eating, I have Cedes and Emma at my feet, heads up,
licking their lips, until I start giving them baby food to lick off
my finger. It is too cute.
I also use baby food post-surgery for a day or so, for tummy
problems, when Chester had a tooth pulled, and in my soup. I always
keep a supply on hand.
