I have one in chronic kidney failure; here is a thought you can run by
your vet. One trick I've been using on my guy is reallllllly incredibly
watery chicken gravy. So watery that it is like chicken broth. He will
willingly drink upwards of 60 ml's of this a few times a day, so it's been
a handy way of pushing fluids into him. Just a thought since your guy
already likes the gravy. You'd probably have to start thinning it out
slowly and gradually so that he won't feel terribly ripped off and refuse
to drink it. :)
Good luck!
