Hi Sherry,
Actually, I indicated only two teaspoons, not tablespoons, per day. It's not harmful to feed more, but it's not necessary.
The Ration Plus, along with the Glanzen, will boost his level of B vitamins, making his appetite improve. So, give it some time -- it can take a couple of months before you see significant weight gain. I would suggest that you weight tape him to get a baseline, so you can better judge how he's progressing.
Please keep me posted.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
