I've been keeping my eye on Sneezy, and she just isn't eating right. So, I went to the store and bought some things to make her some duck soup.
I made it with chicken baby food, low sodium chicken broth, 2 hard boiled eggs, ferretvite, ground kibble, boiled chicken livers, and a drop of honey.
I've got a freezer full now.

I don't know how to get her to eat it though. I tried to get her to take it off my fingers, but she won't. I tried it with a spoon, thick, thin, warm, cold. I don't know what else to do.

The vet that I go to said he thought her loss of hair on her tail and her sore on her belly were from low nutrition in the food that I was feeding them. But, how am I supposed to get more nutrition in her if I can't get her to eat.

Do I need to try and force the duck soup down her throat with a syringe???
