|  Buster is a fatty?! I took Buster in for his rabies shot, and the vet described him as borderline obese! Boy was I mad/embarrassed! LOL. I feel like if he told me one of my kids is fat  . He weighs 4.8 lbs, but I guess for his size and build he's supposed to weigh more at the 3.5 range. I guess your supposed to be able to feel their ribs.....LOL, not a single one to be felt!  |

|  Hes still small how old is he? I like a little more weight as opposed to too frail but the vet knows best is he going on a diet?

| Wow, That doesnt seem to be obese at all. Then again if depends on their frame. I know we all want our babies to be more plump but too much weight is bad for their joints, etc. Hopefully switching to adult food will be the key and he doesnt need to be on a diet. |

| My vet told me that once they are spayed/neutered they can be switched to adult food. |
