Well, Sydney and I have come full circle. I had gotten two kinds of liquid (thank God) medications for him: a steroid, which is supposed to shrink any cancerous growth, if there is one; and some other medicine which is supposed to help irritation in his digestive system.
I started off by mixing both meds in his canned food. He didn't always finish it.
I tried mixing only the second med into the food and forcing the steroid down his throat (It is cherry flavored, of all things). He still wasn't always eating his food.
So I started forcing both meds down his throat. I live alone, so you can imagine how fun this is for both of us. The first few days, it wasn't too bad, but as time went on, the battle of wills escalated.
So, now I've gone back to mixing them both in the food. I've cut back on the doses (especially the steroid, which would only put off the inevitable, anyway, if cancer is the problem), figuring it's better for him to get some than none.
And now he has diahrrea again.
