Thank you soufflé as that adds to what I have already learned. I rarely gave Maestro treats of egg or chicken etc and only when he was younger. His weight has gone down from a peak of 198/200 gms to 182 and the vet said that was not a concern yet.
I have been worried that if he fills himself up with water he will not feed properly. So I have been offering him some baby veggie food ( on a spoon after the medicine to say sorry), or porridge made more moist than before or a crushed and soaked selective science biscuit. Only a little and on rotation as he still needs to use his teeth and eat his proper food.
Would you advise carrying on with these little extras? They don't amount to that much.
