    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

    WE PRAY ITS TEETH TOO JEN AS BO BO THE SIAMESE WAS LOSING WEIGHT TOO, AND HER DENTAL MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
    I HOPE THOUGH THAT Da VINCI JUST NEEDS A CLEANING AND NOT TO HAVE EVERY TOOTH PULLED OUT LIKE BO BO , JOHN HANCOCK AND MOOSE ANGEL.

    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.

    Good to hear he is home - 7 teeth! Poor baby!

    Did they give him a pain patch so you don't have to pill him, Jen?

    Looking forward to Da Vinci's healing, and him eating more food!

    Jen - if he had the sniffles - would that be a Da Vinci Cold?

    (ducks to avoid things thrown at her)

    HUGS!

    Poor DaVinci! His mouth must be so sore and tender. I hope that each hour gets a little bit better for him and that he starts to make his way out of hiding and into your arms. Or at least to the dinner plate!
