Long story short, our 1.5 yr old male kitty had some sort of mouth ulcer and wasn't eating his dry food consistently so we had about 4 weeks of vet visits, visiting a dental specialist and now he's fine (sort of, they think it's allergies so we are working on that), but we just came back and found out he's gained 2 lbs in a month, so he went from 12 lbs to 14 lbs, I know that's an absurdly huge number and I take full responsibility, I just can't help but feel like garbage, I thought I was doing the right thing after having one of my very first cats go through hepatitc lipidosis 10 years ago and now I've made him overweight. In my sad defense, we had to give him medicine and so disguising that was a fun fun task.
We just got back from the vet, she seems to think that because the mouth sore is gone he was eating more and now we need to help him lose weight again, not a disease or further issue (he just had bloodwork a month ago), but can anyone empathize? I thought I was doing the right thing and it turned out to be wrong.
