Adopt Muskoka

Patient Progress

Milk Matrix Muskoka is being fed a milk formula that mimics the milk he would receive from his mother. This formula is high in fat and promotes weight gain. He will eventually be weaned onto fish.

Patient Updates

Muskoka is doing well and will be learning how to eat fish before we know it!
