At the vet today he has a bad respiratory infection we will be lucky if he makes it lost muscle and very thin. Strong antibiotics. He is acting great right now eating his treat blocks @Eggcessive @Chicalina

Great news that you've got a diagnosis, and proper treatment is under way.

Since he has lost a lit of weight, you can feed him high calorie foods to build him back up. Mine really like mashed potato and beans with olive oil mixed in. Peanut butter and honey sandwiches are good too, soaked in a little milk! (obviously not a staple feed!)

Scrambled egg with live yoghurt mixed in is excellent for after a course of antibiotics (helps to put his gut flora right again).

Thank you i sure hope he makes it. He is acting like he is feeling better right now enjoying his treat block. I have some plain Greek yogurt I can give him after his treatment. I have no idea they like peanut butter and honey. Ill have to try that one!!!

I'm rooting for him too! He is having the best care possible.

Peanut butter spread on bread is high calorie and the honey also has antiseptic properties. The milk just helps to wet it, make it easier to eat and a bit of hydration. If he is hungry for his treat block that is a great sign.

I have a good feeling he is going to be OK!
