Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and Xander vines yesterday!
Today he ate well but it still was smaller meals needed despite the meds. He also had a poop last night and overnight that both had definite shape to them despite being a little softer than normal. He is also still having strong nadirs on the 0.75 dose, we'll see where he gets once his depot adjusts.
The pork canned food came in today, so I will begin adding it in tomorrow morning. My biggest concern is that it only comes in 5.5oz cans rather than the 3oz cans he's used to and he tends to sometimes require "fresh" food when he isn't feeling his hungriest. Ideally I'll need the one can to last through his ~3 hour feeding window. I'm thinking of trying to vacuum seal half the can to prevent that half from being exposed to oxygen as I reopen the can for multiple feedings.
Also worried this could just be an unrelated pancreatitis flare and this will just add another complication. But being hopeful this will help with intestinal inflammation and improve things and he will take to the new food like he did to turkey in the past

It was an overall pretty good one despite the bit more effortful feeding!
) so it sometimes gets a little stale for him. Im thinking continue my current strategy with half the can, but do something with the other half to keep others fresher. Maybe an airtight container and refrigerated. The only problem is hes had issues in the past with warmed up food. He has always been fun to feed
