| Little Guy Losing Weight! My little guy, Toby, is now about 7 months old. He is now into "humping" just about everything ~ but he has lost some weight in this process. I do weigh him on a quality, food grade scale after he has a bm when I decide to take his weight. He is a small guy, and was staying at around 2 lbs, 2 oz... However after starting his humping craze he is staying between 1lb 12 oz and 1lb 14 oz. He is very active, has a great apetite, pees and poos regularly and is just a joy. I do worry about his weight since my 2 year old is 5lbs and was 2.5lbs at 12 weeks old! The vet has no concerns, said he was just uber tiny but that if I ever notice any vomitting or lethargic behavior to please take him in asap. My question is, is this normal? He lost about 4-6 oz. I don't know if this helps any, but he is 7" long and about 4 1/2" tall at the shoulders. Any advice would be appreciated. |

| He sure is a little guy. If you have a great vet and trust him, listen to his advice. My guys are 1 year old, neutered at 9 months, and will still occasionally hump, but have not lost any weight. Distract that behavior and get his mind elsewhere. Does he come from a long line of Humpers? |
