With Callie 2 pounds is around 13.3% of her TBW. What is her ideal body weight? If she is still a bit over, then no worries. If she is at or under her ideal body weight, then you may need to worry, if she keeps losing. It may be better for her knee issues to stay on the light side. |
Her food has a probiotic in it but her IBD just does not react well normally with straight up probiotics. The vet was happy with her weight at 16 pounds. You can feel her spine and ribs way to easily. She still has a pot belly because of the Cushings though.
