| Not enough Orijen? Toby was never a great eater, always picking at his food, never finishing what I set down. Since he had his op, he has had a great appetite. He has always been very lean, my hubby thinks he is underweight, but he isnt. He will finish what I put out, and take some more. Sometimes he will leave some for later, so its not a case of that he is just eating it cos its there. I wasnt really measuring, I just gave him some when he seemed hungry. So today I measured. On the bag 60g a day. So I gave him 30g at 9am. He ate it all. Its now 4pm. He wouldnt normally get his second feed to 6pm, but he was trying to get at the remainder of Maisies food, so I gave him another 30g. He ate the remainder of Maisies food and most of his 30g. I dont think that will do him for the night, so its looking like the 60g isnt enough for him. SHould I up the food a bit, or stick to the guidelines? As I said, he is very lean, so I would be happy if he put on a bit of weight. He had the femoral head removed, so we are trying to build up the wasted muscle again, so again, the extra food might be needed? What do you think? (He is about 4.5lb & 10 months old and still on the puppy cos its easier to keep him and Maisie on the same food)
