My 9 year old Lab will not eat
My Chocolate lab is losing weight fast. He is under the care of 4 vets, and time and money is running out. Ultrasound shows 5 lymphnode glands enlarged near the large intestine. Biopsy results pending in a day or two. Vet initial thoughts lymphoma (cancer) highly treatable with chemotherapy. I need to get him to eat in the meantime to build up strength. I have tried all kinds of canned wet food (vet wants him to eat slurry consistency). Prescription food, expensive food, cheap food, turns his nose up to all. Went from 90# down to 81#. Does anyone know something truly delicious he won't turn down, that is soft and can be a slurry mix? I tried bland diets, I even tried "ensure" with ice cream. He needs energy. Tonight I'm buying nutra-kal malt in a tube to try and get some appetite stimulation going on. Thanks for your input.
