She gave me a list of emergency contact and vet info. He doesn't have life threatening condition. She told me that I can free feed or feed him on fixed schedule like mine. He also has no medication, just pepcid for when his stomach growls and him not eating.
Thanks for your input! You covered my exact concerns (#2). This is why I haven't put him on a diet, but to feed him like how I would feed mine, which I have permission for. I also don't give him as many of the IAMS treats like she said I can. I will for sure tell her when she returns of the problems I see he has and it will be up to her as to what she want to do. Thanks =) |
First of all, I am so glad that I didn't offend you. I was concerned. Thank you for taking what I typed the way I meant
So, if she said you could do a fixed feeding schedule, then I'd go for it. Document how much and when you were feeding him and I commend you for cutting down on the treats. Just be sure that little chubby-wubby doesn't lose too much weight -- hummm if you exercise the little booger enough he'll replace body fat with muscle and although he will appear thinner the scale won't lie.
