Ideally, 3-4 mls of food, 3-4 times per day is best. The more he eats at one sitting, the less he needs at the next but try to get as much in him each time as possible without totally stressing him. If he doesn't eat much at one sitting, try again in an hour. The less he eats, the more often you need to try.

Also, leave loose (counted first) kibble in his bed with him because often if they don't feel like getting up to eat, they will eat if it's right in bed. Royal Canin Baby cat is well liked so try it.

Sometimes it takes a few tries to get them to catch on to syringe feeding, especially when they are already getting yucky meds. Perhaps he doesn't like A/D. Most of the time they do, but there are some that don't.

You can try a different type of canned food but regular food does need some preparation to make it syringe-able. The lumps get caught in the tip so you really need to strain it well, use a blender or something to get all lumps out of it. Even the smallest lump will get caught.

The main thing is getting food into him so FLD doesn't start.
