Now I know we all call them our babies but even if you manage to hand feed it is it really in its best interest to do so for the next 60 odd years.
I think unless you can see any improvement in a few days the kindest thing to do is put them to sleep.

Was just about to tell this story, so that's what happened. I noticed exactly the same as you, it was trying to eat, lunging the head forward, but then I noticed it couldn't open its mouth. Then as has been said, Gordon tried for about a week, but it couldn't eat and faded, so we decided to have it put to sleep.
