Definitely keep an eye on it. I'd get Toby the surgery in a heart beat if this was affecting his quality of life. He's lost 1.1 lbs and that has made a big difference. We still have a couple pounds to go but we'll get there. He's at 10 lbs. right now. |
We should start a support group. Kaji is too smart for his own good and he does not like the diet. Oh what a struggle it is to get him to lose that last pound.
