So sorry to hear that it was hard to feed them by hand. Have you tried dog and cat feeding dishes yet? You could puree their food into a liquid and set the dishes on the floor. Then the patients can simply slurp it out, with no hand feeding required. The ones that can't slurp will eventually just go away. After all if you can't slurp, you can't burp! (Ha Ha) Just a thought.
