I've had many discussions with my vet over this and I need some ideas.
Over the last few months, Much has been losing weight (4oz in the last two months). All of her blood work is good and we know she has good kidney function. We are now giving her Pepcid because the vet thinks the Metacam she is taking for her arthritis may be irritating her stomach.
And while I'm worried about her, the big problem is Carly who is now becoming "my little sausage". She has always had food issues since we got her 1 1/2 years ago. But now she is putting on weight.
We currently free-feed with a serving of wet food in the morning and at night. The vet wants to continue free feed because he feels that Much is more at risk in losing weight than Carly is in gaining. Also, we can't give Much a large serving of wet food because she will end up throwing up.
So any ideas how I can keep my little sausage from expanding?
