My Foster Keith Is Finally Gaining Weight


Recommended Posts

Update: 1/10

He's up to 65.4 lbs :yay

Less than 5 more to go

 

He also has a odd lump on the back of his leg so I got that looked at while at the vet yesterday. It's nothing but I need to keep an eye on it.

He's also really coming out of his shell with me. He jumpes all over the place when I get home or when we get up in the morning.

He's playing more as well.

I picked up Keith the middle of Nov and he was neutered a few days after we got back. He had really runny poop for about a month. I was really getting worried as he was loosing weight and down to 61 lbs (he should be close to 70). He was 65 when I got him.

I think the food that the fosters eat just wasn't agreeing with him so it took a long time for his stools to firm up. I was giving him 1/2c pumpkin twice a day and stopped that the week of Christmas.

I am happy to report that he gained almost 2 lbs when I had him weighed last week (he was weighed 2 weeks before that)

 

I think now that he's finally settled into a routine here and feeling much more comfortable, he's finally not so nervous and his tummy isn't upset anymore.

 

I am able to give him treats now without worrying about runny poop in a few hours :yay

 

I hope to get more weight on him before he's adopted

 

Here's Keith
