    So, Todd was at the vet all day.

    For more info on today, see my post here and scroll to the bottom for his update.

    So my question.. to get a full can of the A/D in him in a day, how often should I syringe feed him? The syringe I have holds 35ml, but I usually give him 30ml in a feeding. I mix very little water into the A/D because it is already full of water.

    I wasn't sure how often I should do it.. once an hour, every two to three hours?..

    Suggestions?

    This is for one 5.5 oz can of the A/D.

    30cc = 1oz. He needs about one 5.5oz can per 24 hour period. That equals to about 30cc every 4 hours.
