Guest cat_mph Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Toes is 8 years old. Since we adopted him in 2005, his weight has been between 70-74 lbs. During his comp visit in September, I noticed his weight was 67 lbs; during his last visit 6 months ago he weighed 70 lbs. The vet didn't mention anything about the weight loss. His energy level is normal along with his appetitie. He is up to date on his vaccinations. His food is the same. His stools are normal with the exception of the past 24 hours where they have been less firm; but not diarhea. So, how much weight loss is normal/ok? What could be the causes? Thanks!

Guest snowberry Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Losing a couple of pounds over the summer, when it's hot, if your dog hasn't felt like eating as much, is OK. TBH, I'd keep a careful eye on him and see your vet if you're not happy. There are so many things it could be, from worms to quite worrying things.

GeorgeofNE Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 The scale at my vet's office is very inconsistent. I bet if you went back today, it would not be the same exact weight. I don't think three pounds means much. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav. Missing Ming, George, and Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
