I recommend to check with your veterinarian if refeeding syndrome is a concern: https://www.sheltermedicine.com/library/resources/?r=starvation-and-re-feeding-animals If your veterinarian thinks Nicko is ok to begin eating again, I recommend a GI friendly diet like Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat or Hill Science Diet I/D. These diets break down easier in they system and will help to avoid shocking his system. He should eat the diet for two weeks before gradually transiting back to his normal food. I'm glad he is recovering!
