Yes! Our two with IBD can't have poultry ones because they
personally don't have guts thattolerate them, but lamb and beef
baby foods have gotten them through some very rough hauls.

Another of our's has a condition that causes bouts of extreme
anorexia and for her canned a/d has gotten her into her 8th year.
She can and does also get poultry baby foods here and there.

Another great thing about baby foods is that they are easy to
warm and to give. They can be given by finger, by spoon, by
bottle, etc. (BTW, soft talkign like Mike uses helps get food in, as
does singing -- I am NOT kidding, and jealousy of another ferret
who might steal the special meal. )
