Alfie's weight gain


Been to vet for Alfies quarterly check up.

He has put on a little weight which is really good news. He is now officially 'underweight' rather than 'too thin'. This is great news for him and the result of feeding 6 small wet meals and ad lib dry food every day. He is just under 7lbs which, although is not great considering he was at age 3 around 9lbs, is great for him.

However, he is bright, alert and happy - and so are we

Re: Alfie's weight gain


Thank you everyone

Although I know he is never going to be a big fat boy, it was so good to hear he is going in the right direction. If we can get another half pound on the vet will be happy - so I have 3 months to achieve 8 ozs.
