Artax is a chunky monkey
Kado is getting along pretty well without his teeth. For the first few days he was pretty lethargic, likely from the pain or the side effects of the pain killers, but he seems back to normal now. He still isn't using his mouth to pick up things, and mostly he's drinking Boost Plus for his food.
The hard part is keeping the Boost away from Artax, who clearly loves it as much as he clearly doesn't need the extra calories.

Posted by: Poi Mom Jane at August 30, 2006 02:23 AMAbita, are you blending his goodies in a blender for him?? Perhaps mixing in a bit of Boost? Would he take a syringe of food? Baby food? ( I know, I know--SHUT UP EANNA! lol)

I definitely welcome your comments and ideas. I like your idea of blending food w/ Boost, and I think I'll give it a shot soon.

That Artex is a cheeky little monkey... the temptation of the Boost is obviously too much..
