He was on pediapred for a couple of days, but then it was suggested that I take himo off when he started grinding, for fear the pred may aggrevate an ulcer. I have given him a couple doses here and there, just to help maintain his blood sugar.

I have definately been hand feeding him all along. He would not be alive at this point if not for my round-the-clock feedings of soup from a syringe. I know if I stopped force feeding him, he would wither away and die, so I am very dilgent about that. The only think he will take without force is ferretone, which he will lick small amounts of from a dish.

Thanks for your thoughts on this - Any other suggestions?
