Luckily for me, my boys do not have CT, I can't imagine what you go through daily with her, but my heart goes out to you!
As for losing weight, my vet told me to feed them a 1/4 cup 2x a day. They seem to like that with some water drizzled on it. He also said if they are still starving feed them some green beans or carrots, but less carrots as they have more calories & sugar. I give them each 1 small treat a day when I leave for work and thats it. My Fletcher went from a really skinny 8.9lbs (hes a big boy) before his neuter, to a whooping 13.5lbs only 6 months after his neuter. Vet would like to see him at 11lbs if possible, maybe 10. Dexter was 7.5lbs at his last visit and he should only be 5.5lbs. So I am struggling with the weight loss thing too. Ive been diligent with feedings since mid-Jan and it does not seem like Fletcher has dropped an ounce. I would bet Dex dropped a 1/2 lb though. Its so hard to get them to lose weight! I thought it would fall off with the strictly controlled diet, but its not.
