the vet didn't even suggest it. She told me to check them every 5 days for trimming, rather than once per week as I'd been doing.

Maybe with spring weather on the way, they are just friskier and losing a few ounces?
Sparkle is 11, Vita is 10. If it were a few ounces, I wouldn't be so worried!
Sparkle has lost 6 pounds in one year, and Vita has lost 5! If I could lose that percentage of MY weight I'd still be overweight but I'd be worried.
