Hello everyone, my 1 year old kitty is currently recovering from being sick and he is very dehydrated. He is eating wet food really good but I just can’t get him to drink water. Even when I try to syringe feed him, I feel like I don’t give him enough. I try to add some water in his wet food, but if I add too much he won’t eat it. I’ve also tried adding low sodium chicken broth in his water for some flavor and I’ve even warmed it up but he still won’t drink it. Are there any other ways to get him to drink water on his own or is syringe feeding as much as I can the only way? When I syringe feed him water, it takes me around an hour or so just to get at least 20 mL in him and that’s far from being enough for the day.
Every time I syringe feed him, he always lets the water spill from his mouth so I’m barely getting any in. I try to point the syringe in the side of his mouth while pointing the syringe inward.. if that makes sense.
