Re: the good stories ~ warming food
Get a bowl of pretty hot water. Put the bowl of food in the hot water. It will take a few minutes but the heat will transfer and you will not dilute the food. If you want to mix a liquid in it try a broth (chicken, beef etc). Again, you will be adding to the food.

RE: the good stories
Have you tried assist-feeding him Lynne? My vet showed me how when I arrived her clinic in floods of tears with Flavia one day thinking i was going to lose her. It's easy: Just put BooBoo on your lap, put a little food on your finger, open his mouth and smear the food on his tongue, or wherever you can smear it in his mouth. Once he actually tastes it, he may be fine. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lynne Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 3:22 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: the good stories Diane, my husband slightly warms his food since it's kept in the fridge.

RE: the good stories
Lynne, I can't remember if you told us whether your vet had checked BooBoo for any lymph node problems? Or for mouth sores or the like? The only reason I ask is that our Patches wanted to eat but couldn't, much, because his lymph nodes were swollen and it hurt. Or it could just be that BooBoo loves the attention and ritual of being fed by your husband, but his snifflies prevent the food from being attractive. BTW, our Luc had an esophageal feeding tube when he had the fatty liver disease, and it really got him over the hump until he got his appetite back (we were never sure why he went off his food in the first place, the vet's best guess was pancreatitis). It only took a few days of tube feeding until he started eating on his own again, but we had to leave the tube in long enough for the skin to heal around it, to give a good foundation for the stitches once the tube came out.
