Judith,
Thank you so much for your prompt response.
You are right, he is a senior and I should take that into
consideration.
At one time, he was obviously cared for (that is why I was convinced he was
owned by someone at some time). His coat was taken care of at one time and
the matting is recent, not long term.
He just will not take in more that a cup at a time.
I do have him eating a larger dinner (I guess his stomach is stretching
:)
I cannot free feed him in a house of ten plus dogs, but I do sneak him the
fattening biscuits whenever he seems interested.
I make them special for him (BIG), I started making them smaller and I
found that he liked them so now I am making them bigger and bigger, getting more
into him each time :)
Thanks again for your interest and support.
I definitely will have him looked at by the vet.
I am glad not to have to focus just on cancer for the moment.
Regards,
Lisa
