What an anxious time you are having with your lovely boy. I don't know if you had a look at the thread cypher linked you too earlier on Cushings and treatment. I had to give my boy meds for a year. On the thread I detail how I used baby foods and porridge for this. All hammies seem to love porridge- just half a teaspoon made with water and microwave for 20 seconds. With baby foods,veggie ones are best. No onion or garlic or tomato. I used veg mixes, chicken or turkey with veg, rotating the flavours. As each jar can only be open for a couple of days, I froze the rest in ice cube trays and popped out a different cube each night to ring the changes. You may not need to do this but I had a long time to deal with!
