Penguin seems sick

[Miss Lydia]

Anyone happen to know where to get this stuff that isn't the vet? Picture is attached it is what I've been tube feeding penguin. When I google it I can easily find the herbivore and carnivore variants but not the omnivore like this one. It's suuppper expensive from the vet

Baby bird food works great too. Most pet store carry it.

Wow, the omnivore formula appears to not exist at all, except for the packet you have. That’s incredibly frustrating

How are the girls doing this AM?

Maybe get a bag of each and mix them?

Doing very good!! Yeah frustrating for sure I see the bags of the carnivore and herbivore ones are only like 13 bucks but I'm paying $30 for a bag of this from the vet

When I tube feed mine, I had done it for a week. I was so exhausted, I took a morning off feeding her for my sanity. She finally ate that day, and I believe it was because she realized what hunger was and liked being well fed.

I think I will try this today. Penguin is now in better shape than Puffin was at her worst, and Puffin never stopped eating so theoretically Penguin should be capable of eating now. As of this morning Penguin is up and walking around the room with her sister and going around to explore.

Vets are notorious for hiking prices. Most folks don't know that they can get their pets' prescriptions filled (for a fraction of the cost) at a regular pharmacy.
