Condensed milk mixed with water better than evap, I think.

Also try mixing wet food with a bit of water each time.

I hope he will be OK  :hug: :hug:

 :rofl: the little tinker is fine, we called at the foster co ordinaters jeans before we went to the vet and she tried him with different kind of food (potty about gravy or something i think) and he ate it straight off, and then after a little cotton bud tickle from jean he pooped  :rofl: so he just didnt like my cooking and wanted his bum tickled the magic way of jeans  :rofl: had me worried sick he did!!!

jeans keeping him with her until shes happy he will poop without needing a bum tickle and im getting another little furbaby on thursday, will try and post pics of those 2 though as they were adorable!!! A long haired blue and a marble tabby (i think thats what there called lol)
