The previous advice is sound. You did not mention how long you have used your veterinarian or how old your baby is. If you got Knox from a reputable breeder you should phone them as well since they may have some insight. If not definitely find another veterinarian recommended by friends, good vets who truly care are difficult to find or take your baby to the ER if you are as alarmed as your post feels. I'm sure I was known as a neurotic Mom with my now Angel Gizmo but I say better safe than sorry. I was going to suggest the chicken and rice as well and depending on how old the darling is you may want to blend to the consistency of baby food and hand feed. Human baby food is ok but since Gizzy's renal failure I would worry about phospherous levels in the food especially if he is yelping on pick up. Please hon if you are super worried take him to another vet.
