Subject: Mac still won't eat normal diet or drink water

I wrote about Mac previously. He's an 18 month old male and the
x/rays and blood tests showed nothing. He still won't eat kibble or
his favourites - chicken and meat - and won't drink water.

I crush his kibble very finely, then add boiling water and make a
sloppy mush so he's obviously getting enough water this way. Up until
a week ago I was also adding chicken baby food and cream but have
eliminated these now in an attempt to just give him the kibble
flavour. If there are any lumps in the mushed up kibble he won't eat
them - just licks around them. He will only eat the mush if its
warm. After its reached room temperature, he won't touch it. I go
back to work in a week's time and won't be able to feed him during
the day so I'm getting very concerned that I haven't been able to get
him to eat his normal hard kibble which is available to him all the
time.

HELP! - Any suggestions or ideas?
