@LynnaePB Snuggle is eating less and feels really hot. Did you link me the tube feeding information? I can’t seem to find it now. How often would I tube feed if I do? I think eating is wearing him out since he has to straighten his neck.
Aww I'm so sorry to hear he isn't doing too well.
I just linked to the syringe/feeding tube combo I use. I don't have any articles on hand on the best way to do it unfortunately.
I try to feed at least twice a day, three would be even better but the two will work. I make sure to give them enough that their crop fills up. My husband holds them and helps open the beak and I put the tube several inches down/into the throat aiming for the end to go into the crop. Usually it goes really smoothly. The only problem I've run into occasionally is the food starting to come up. When this happens I quickly remove the tube and let them swallow it (I'm guessing I gave a little too much in these instances).
Good luck, I hope he starts improving soon!
