🚨 Current Feeding Directions

Because medication upset his tummy we have him on a very plain diet right now. He also gets a little probiotic added to his food until he runs out of it. There is a syringe of a paste that he gets 3ccs of with each meal and a pill that can be sprinkled on top at dinner. Currently he eats about a cup of shredded chicken, 1.5 cups of cooked rice, and a tablespoon (eyeballed) of pumpkin with each meal mixed together with those meds. It looks like the picture below when it’s put together:

There’s also a bag of shredded cheese in the fridge which you can add a few pinches of to entice him to eat.

To dispense the syringe of paste simply twist the ring on the plunger until it lines up with the number 3 higher than the current one, then press it on top of the food. It can all be mixed together with a spoon.
