Hi,
New member here but used to be on the old site. Have had chins for 13 years and successfully syringe fed many of them. Need help with this one.
Mine has had a bumpy few weeks. Tooth trimming put him off his feed. Constipation resulted in a hair ring....and swollen member then a surgical procedure to put it back and a collar so he wouldn't mess with the suture. While syringe feeding (which he hates and fights tooth and nail), scratched the inside of his mouth. sigh.
Collar off for a week but he still refused to eat solid food and fights fights fights the syringe. Tried different sizes and types of syringe, pumpkin, squash, flavored cc, etc. I'm afraid I'm going to lose him as he is down 200 grams. Thoughts, please? I wrap him snugly and hold his head - he literally spits out the food.
Thank you.
Ann
