    Well, we took the little guy to the vet. The Vet said that he was so fargone that they had two options, either tube feed him with this energy formula that smells like a healthfood store. Or just put him to sleep, They cost the same amount. Soooo we decided on the tube feeding. after prying open his mouth because he refuesed to open it, We've been feeding him about 1 CC 3 times a day of this stuff. And hes gaied weight, hes holding his head up a bit now... but not eating on his own.

    its good to ear that he is gaining some weight, did you ever get a fecal done on him?Poop Isnt always runny when a uro has parasites, and the tube feeding wont end up helping much if he has them.

    Yes, appearntly he had/has Tape worms, its normal in animals, and since hes so young he could be effected by it. He had a treatment, and im not sure if/when were going to go and get another one... have to call up the vet and ask several questions I forgot to ask while there acctually...
