It's so hard to watch our pets age and slow down. I'm glad to hear that Fister is starting to eat better now and I hope he'll continue to so. Maybe you could try giving him some chicken broth since he doesn't drink much. I give this to both Alani & Blaze every night for added moisture in their diet since canned food gives them loose stools. My vet said that it was fine to give this to them long term. Did Fister have have a thyroid test done in March? My RB Storm ended up having hyperthyroidism and he also lost weight. I hope that Fister will be around for a long time to come. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.
