Oliver lost three pounds!
Jul. 25th, 2010 09:21 amI just put him on the balance board (was going to confirm it with the digital scale, but Mom came home and Oliver ran to the door), and yep, 3.1 pounds less than he was 87 days ago, the last time I weighed him. I've been meaning to do it and kept forgetting until after he'd already been fed. He's 28 pounds even now. We want to get him back down to 20-25 pounds. (20 is the goal--that's what he was when we adopted him--but 25 is the safe zone.)
So yeah, finally, some progress. I wish I'd weighed him earlier so I could've seen WHEN he started losing weight. I think the once-a-day feeding is working. He only needs so much food. When he gets down to a good weight, I might keep him on a once-daily feeding schedule, just give him a full bowl instead of a slightly more than half-full bowl.
