As long as the amount he's eat is keeping him at a healthy weight, I'd continue with what you are doing. Feeding more will only make him gain weight, which isn't healthy. If he's skinny though, you can feed a little more.
He has no medical problems before us or now. We did get all past medical paper work from his old Vet. So I know that isn't part of the problem.
Thank you for your info.
