Draco was in the library with me while I was cleaning up the water mess, this morning. I set him into the rice box; he decided that was pretty neat, I stuck my hand in he started to play with me. A first.

Draco is finally eating his soup on his own. I've not seen him eat any kibble so I'm offering him soup every few hours. He was offered 5 bowl throughout the day, he ate them all. His poo is back to normal.

Draco has poo real poo on his pad this morning. Not a lot but poo. I offered him soup by dropper he ate the entire 1/4 cup. I will offer him more when I get back down stairs. It appears Draco is turning the corner. I offered him soup at noon first dropper feeding him, then offering him the bowl. I had him on my lap. He finished the 1/4 cup of soup. At 4 pm I offered him a bowl of soup still holding him on my lap, but did not offer the dropper. He ate the entire 1/4 cup and wanted more. Maybe he has decided this is not such a bad place to be.

I've been dropper feeding Draco, I insist he take at least 5ml. This morning after he had his dropper of soup I set him in the kitchen. Before coming upstairs I offered him more soup, he appeared to want to eat it out of the bowl. I sat him on my lap, offered the bowl of soup, he ate what was left. Maybe another 8 ml . This boy is grieving. He is leaving icky slim on the papers. Obvious he is not eating. I've been dropper feeding Draco throughout the day. I offered him soup while doing meds. He took 10 ml. I tried to get him to eat some out of the bowl but would not have it. He has a poo that almost resembles a poo, slightly green ting, seedy but formed. I'll continue to dropper feed him until the boy starts to eat his kibble.

Draco seemed to be in better spirits today. He found some treats the others missed, he was eating them. At this point as long as he is eating something I'm happy. I did catch him picking up a single piece of TF off the floor, he ate that. I offered him soup tonight he didn't want it.
I've discovered he does not like his soup the consistency of gravy he likes broth soup. I watered the bowl of soup down, reheated it. He had not touched it while I was still doing shelter duties.

The new little guy Draco was concerning me, he would eat 2 bowls of soup when I was serving soup. Then Sunday he stopped eating, he hasn't eaten kibble since he got here. That's why I was giving him so much soup. When I got up yesterday morning he hadn't eaten his soup. His poo was diarrhea. He would not eat anything yesterday. I thought I might have to start fluids. This morning I found he had not eaten his soup again last night.
I got him up early with morning shift offered him a bowl of soup he ate what was in the bowl, I think I saw him eat 1 kibble. He has pep in his step this morning. He tried out the rice box, doing some snorkeling. It's been a week since he was dropped off. I hope he is starting to feel comfortable being here.
