Ben is losing weight

[kuhio98]

Scott, does Ben throw up a lot? When Kuhio's hyperthyroidism was getting very bad, she threw up a lot. The vet said that her system was on hyperdrive so she had a very nervous stomach. We fed her human baby food (all meat varieties) and they really helped. It was easy on her digestive system.

Something to keep in mind if he can't keep his regular food down. I also used to mince up (as small as possible) pieces of cheese and lunchmeat. Kuhio loved it. As long as the pieces were very tiny, she would keep them down.

I'm glad that Ben is doing better. Hopefully, this will continue.

Thanks for your replies. Ben rarely throws up. I have seen him vomit once or twice since I started changing out his food. I will try baby food and cheese and lunchmeat also.

My vet did two thryoid tests. He has mild hyperthryiodism. She said it isn't enough to cause this weight loss. We will monitor it closely though.

Again - thanks to all for your support!
