Me again...Fatass, CRF, on liquid therapy, won't eat, yadda yadda...

I have a big bag of IVD Modified dry that she doesn't eat, but I want
to be able to use it for assisted feeding - since it is good for her.
I would like it to be about the consistancy of canned food, not soupy -
so I can put it on my fingertip and stick it in her mouth.

Keep in mind I do not have a food processor.

I am thinking mix a cup of food with a little clam juice and water, and
pound with a potato masher to make a paste???  Should I throw 1/2 cap
of a B complex in with it as well??

Thanks,

Bluesman

To make a paste, you can put some dry food in a cheesecloth and lightly
pound it with a hammer.  That should make a nice powder to which you
can add water.  Not sure about the clam juice & vitamin B.  Might want
to check with your vet.
