Not sure what to think.... - 2008/02/17 23:41 So I plopped Pepper on the scale tonight because he seems a lot smaller lately. He was at 650grams when he went for surgery to remove an absess in his mouth. He's now at 450grams. We haven't changed his diet....well a bit less cottage cheese and cheese in generally. He seems very healthy and active. Eatting like the hog he is still. What do you think....should I take him to the vet? He finally seems at a healthy weight. He still seems quite big because he is so long and slender now instead of one big ball. I almost think he's regained a lot of cuteness from when he was a baby!

Re:Not sure what to think.... - 2008/02/18 06:25 I would keep on weighing him every few days and if his weight seems stable and does not continue dropping, I would not worry too much as long as he is eating, drinking and running around like normal.

If his weight does continue to drop, then a vet visit is a good idea.
