Tia has always been SUPER healthy (thank god). This past month she actually put on 1 lb and my vet said I should put her on a little diet. She should weigh 3 lbs (and she always has) but recently she got all the way up to 4 lbs -- even though 1 lb doesn't sound like a lot, my vet said for her tiny frame it's way too much. So I basically cut out the treats. I still free feed them dry food like I always did but no more treats.
So Tia finally did lost 1 lb and I was happy. But today I weighed her and she's actually under 3 lbs now ... she weighs 2 lbs and 12 oz. Should I be concerned? Her appetite is great and she doesn't seem dehydrated (I pulled her skin and it snapped right back into place). But I think anything under 3 lbs is not right for her. Ok I'm more then concerned, I'm really worried. I'm probably overreacting but I can't help it. I don't know what to do. I'm leaving Friday to pick up Cali in California, so I don't know if I should do anything about it before I leave ... or should I just wait until I come back and then see how she is progressing?
Should I be worried about this?? I called my vet and he said not to worry right now because when he saw her 1 month ago, she was in great shape. He said if she loses any more weight to bring her in immediately. I'm bringing Cali home, plus the 1 year anniversary of Katie and my mother's passing is next week. So I really have a lot on my mind and I'm excited about getting Cali, yet stressed out at the same time. Am I overreacting? I know I'm really emotional right now (plus I have my period on top of everything), so I know I'm a wreck.
But what should I do? I'm just don't want anything to happend to my baby. Maybe I should just take her in for a blood test just to ease my mind? What do you all think??
