have you tried the baby food recipe? I mix chicken baby food, banana baby food,
baby oatmeal and heavy whipping cream and warm it just a little. We also sub q
fluids at home when they aren't eating.

[Moderator's Note: since the sodium levels need to be higher than the potassium the
banana may not be the right thing in this particular situation so ask the vet before
trying. Also, while heavy cream works for some there are those who get bad GI
upset from it so if that occurs or runs start drop the cream.]
