Amy, I don't know what to tell you. The only suggestion I have is to try and increase his daily caloric intake to see if that helps him gain wt. So may things can affect wt. including thyroid issues. I know you said blood work looked fine but has he has a T4 and free T4 test recently?
If he would tolerate it you could try adding some kitten food to his regular food for a calorie boost. Another thought is adding in come Clinicare. It is a liquid recovery food and may provide a calorie boost. I offer mine some Gerber Chicken and Gravy meat baby food as a treat. Each jar has 100 calories. Generally several small meal per day are best but you are already doing that. Hugs to him Sharyl --- On Wed, 6/17/09, Amy <awilkin...@yahoo.com> wrote: > From: Amy <awilkin...@yahoo.com> > Subject: [Felvtalk] Losing weight > To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > Date: Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 7:36 PM > > So after losing Maverick today, I'm even more worried about > my boy who's been steadily losing weight for the past 4 > years.
