He is very, very underweight. He is getting a decent amount of protein, calories and omega 3s BUT he is not absorbing which is par for the course.
On the yahoo IBD boards there is a greyhound who should weigh 71. He weighs 56 and gets 8 cups a food a day. Can you imagine? IBD is a nasty nasty disease. One that I wish to G-D, my poor Beau Bead did not have. NO ONE should have to have it.
Yes, I know about IBD and ulcerative colitis; both have affected people close to me. They can be very ugly. And I'm sorry for the other grey. Recovery is a long, slow process.
So, from the pic you posted, Beau does look really thin. What I was wondering is how below weight is he, so we have a better idea what we are seeing in the picture and how far he has to go for his recovery.
I'm really glad he likes his fish. He will get better.
Good point.
