    DaVinci is losing weight.

    I had DaVinci to the vet again today. He lost ANOTHER 2 pounds (he had already dropped 2 pounds)

    The problem "might" be his teeth, but we had blood drawn to make sure it isn't something else more serious.

    He is difficult to medicate because after a few pills he'll start to run and hide at pill time.

    I suspect he'll be going for a dental soon. I'll let you know when I know more.

    I hope it is nothing more than his teeth.

    I guess pill pockets don't fool him either?

    DaVinci, I hope you feel better and more fatter soon!

    Give him a hug for me, Jen.

    Jen, I'm sorry to hear that DaVinci has been losing weight. I hope he checks out well at the vet's.
    How old is he now and how long have you been fostering him?
    I still love his cute black nosie, give him a kiss from me please.
    RIP sweet Samantha

    OK, his blood work was PERFECT (as I quote the vet). So he goes for his dental next tuesday. We want the infection/inflammation to go down a bit before surgery. So far I got his pills in him, but the rest of the week???? We shall see.

    Jen, I find it easiest to catch the tough ones at meal times; they ALWAYS run to the dish, so I just shut the door and have them cornered in one room. Makes is a bit easier. Plus, after the pill they get to eat so it is a built in reward.

    Hang in there DaVinci, mum and the white coats have a plan to help you feel better!

    Praying for you and Da Vinci, Jen. The dental has helped so many other kitties start pigging out again, I am hopeful that it will help Da Vinci too!

    Hugs to that sweetie.

    DaVinci is home and upset. He is a sensitive boy and now all he wants to do is find a place to hide. But he ate a little, which is OK, and can room by himself tonight to recoup.

    He had 7 teeth pulled! WOW! But we hope that he'll be eating full speed ahead, very soon.
