| molly's diet don't know if you remember but Miss Molly had to go to U ofMn. for a check up because she had some congestion and was short of breath. She needs to take off some weight and is that slow going. She is on perscription {hill's} food I really don't feed her more than what was perscribed. She started @ 6.5 and is now 5.8 since March. |

| WOW! That sounds great. I need to get Misha on a diet, she could stand a few pounds less.

| Molly feels so much better!! She should be about 4lbs but the vet said if we could get to even 5lbs. I feel bad I let her get overweight I fed her mighty dog on top of her dry and some treats between, she loves to eat. She didn't seem terribly overweight to me but I should have been better about weighing her. She also takes medicine to give her better air exchange. |

| My Hokule'a has a grade 4/5 heart murmur and the vet is adamant about her not getting overweight. Since she loves her treats I give her green beans and baby carrots as snacks - maybe your baby would like it also?

| we just went to the vets clinic today and she is still 5.8 so she didn't lose any weight last week. My vet said be patient!! I feed her 1/4 cup of the perscription dry and a heaping teaspoon wet perscription twice a day. I cut down on her treats to. She is not happy with this arrangement!! She sits at my feet and barks and tries to talk my into a treat. I stopped sitting down as much so I am the one losing weight here. I will have to go to 1/8 cup maybe if she doesn't lose more. I have been taking her for a little walk everyday to maybe that will help some. |

| Glad to hear everything is working out! Mojo has gained weight after his neuter and the vet told us to cut back on his food to once a day 1/3 cup.....but I think we need to lower it and we plan on changing his food too.

| It seems Molly has gotten heavy after she was spayed. The vet said she would sooner she loses slowly. We have been walking to now. Since she was started on her medicine and lost some weight she is much more active and not always for the good. I just gave her a bath and she let me know when she didn't want any more primping. She was more subdued before. I'm just glad she is better. |
