He will only eat out of my hand! They gave me medicine for "hot spots"...does this sound like hot spots to anyone?! Would that cause weight loss and hair loss?! I will be able to take him to the vet Friday, but just wondered if anyone here would know what it would be! Is there a certain food I can buy to help him gain weight? Thanks so much!!!
Have him checked for parasites. Fleas can cause anemia. A great food for weight gain is Nutra Balance Rolls.
