Thread: Force feed/drink

Not sure going to get a reply to this but please any advice on how i go about making my MC drink and eat regular, (yes i know you all say i got my kitten to soon but im going to look after him and do whats best) so far vets fees have come too £157 for treatment he is underweight if i remember right vet said he weighs less than 1kg or less than a bag of sugar now we are booked in for weekly weigh ins, they did give him his first jab today because he had improved since monday we now need to get the weight on him they gave me a syringe for the kitten milk and dry food to eat. Now my problem is he falls asleep after eating a few mouthfuls or after i have syringe fed the milk he falls asleep so he can not eat his kitten wet food, he will not touch the dry food at all iams or the dry food vet gave what can i do??? Do i just carry on trying to force the milk in?? Havent a clue how to make him eat all time now dont get me wrong he will lap water from the water bowl and he will eat lil bits on his own but he really needs to put weight on, didnt realise how small he was until a friend shown me her 8 week old kitten and she is bigger and heavier than my 9week old :(
