Thanks, I went ahead and used diluted dawn, figured if its safe for birds and kittens it would be ok to use on him! Ended up turning my white wash cloth a dark grey. yuck. Luckily he doesn't really have any open woulds, more just scrapes. I think he rather enjoyed the bath. I Tried to feed him, he was not interested. I figure it might take him a while to start eating but it was feeding day for my corn so I thought I'd give him a try too.
