ils, how long has he been on the antibiotics?

What did the doc say he has?

Normally, for a few days, it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat much, as long as he drinks loads, that's fine. Sleeping a lot is also not a bad thing as long as he's fully awake in between sleeps if you see what I mean.

How old is he?

sprouts, the sleeping is not a bad thing, and you'll probably see a big improvement after 48 hours on the antibiotics. Drinking is vital so it's a good sign he's thirsty.

Just keep offering him tiny bits to eat, the odd marmite soldier? a bit of jelly?
