A worry about a thyroid, or similar type problem, was the original reason I actually took him to the vet. At that point, I had the chipped feeders, and was going to make up my own regime. They, both vets, have dismissed any other issues other than calorific intake, versus exercise taken. I should ma...

I'm quite stunned that the vet would only say 50g of dry food given his weight- I know they say to feed for the target weight, but not if the target weight is more than 10% reduction, so I'd be concerned about too rapid a weight loss, which can lead to liver issues.

I have also made an appointment for him to have his bloods checked and see if there's anything else going on. So much appreci...

Hi fellow cat lovers, I have 3 cats, 2 girls now about 10, and a boy, who is 7. The boy, having been healthy and happy at all times, has, in the past 2-3 years, become completely obsessed with food.
