sabotabbySee this little man?
This little man has been steadily losing weight for years. It sucks. Every time I take him to the vet and put him on the scale, I want to cry. He has a good appetite, so it's not that, and his hyperthyroidism, according to the vet, is under control. He does probably have a liver tumour, but the vet thought it might be worth a shot to give him B12 injections. I was pretty skeptical, but there are no side effects and it's non-invasive, so for $40 a week I figured I didn't have much to lose by trying.
Anyway, he had his first one last weekend and I took him in this morning for his second. Between last week and today, his weight increased from 3.3 kg to 3.6 kg. I mean, it's a small change, but it's been a week and he has not had any weight gain in two years before now.
So I am cautiously optimistic that this may work.
